July 20, 2023, Election Integrity Update by Bill Bruch
In each Washington State election, county election workers compare the signature on the outside return envelope (for anyone to see when mailed-in) to the signature on the voter registration record. A ballot is supposed to be only opened and counted if election officials can match it to the signature on the registration record.
ISSUE: King County Elections, in coordination with the King County Jobs and Housing Program, is mailing notice letters to ALL “registered voters” in the county, asking for updated signatures for county elections records. The goal is to have an updated signature on file for everyone possible in left-leaning King County, in time for the 2024 elections.
