Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey, who has been in office for 26 years, has recently chosen to summarily dismiss all voter challenges despite the completed packages being fully compliant with state law requirements for submission.
State law RCW 29A.08.840 and RCW 29A.08.810(1)(c) specifically states what County Auditors must do upon receiving a challenge in the preliminary stage. However, instead of publicly posting the challenges, Kimsey is formally “dismissing” them and has also chosen to ignore the law by avoiding public visibility and accountability into ongoing election integrity issues related to bloated and dirty voter rolls in Clark County.
Within the last 30 days, 45 voter challenges from 7 different residents in Clark County were submitted to Kimsey and his staff. The challenges that Kimsey is hiding, refuses to publicly post, and has automatically dismissed include:
Voters who moved out-of-state, many of whom left decades ago
Voters actively registered to vote in multiple states
Voters who moved out of the county to elsewhere in the state
One duplicate voter in Washington State
Illegal aliens improperly registered to vote by the DMV and receiving ballots
Each voter challenge included a signed affidavit from the challenger or current resident at the address to provide clear and convincing evidence to its credibility even though, as of 2023, the above is no longer legally required as supportive documentation.
Deceased Voters:
Additionally, in the last nine months, several concerned citizens identified and submitted a total of 23 deceased voter names to Kimsey. These voters were actively registered to vote in Clark County but have been dead for as long as 20 years, with local ballots having been mailed year after year. More than half of them were dead for 12 or more years! But Kimsey still refuses to remove these “Voters” from the Voter Rolls.
In Washington State, three methods are used to identify deceased voters. The Secretary of State receives copies of death certificates and compares the names to the voter rolls, the county auditors use government agencies and obituaries to confirm voter deaths to update the voter rolls, and ERIC has a “Deceased Report.” However, the combined methods are obviously and woefully insufficient to keep the voter rolls clean and ensure election integrity for the general public. These ballots can also result in potential voter fraud.
