Secretary of State Sam Reed brags about removing 400,000 names from the voting records. I did some checking and I'm uneasy about the figures I found.
The Washington State Voter Registration Database was launched in January 2006, as required by the Help America Voter Act.
On this page: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/vrdb/VRDBFaq.aspxthere is a graphic showing voter registration database transactionsThe first two categories can be disregarded because they fluctuate month-to-month depending on voter activity. However the next three are stable and do not add up to 400,000
Canceled a duplicate registration 2006-July 2008 = 53,782Cancelled deceased voters 2006-July 2008 = 85,884Cancelled felon registrations 2006-July 2008 = 8,807Total = 148,433
Where are the other quarter million voters? Why aren't they accounted for in the numbers the Sec. of State tracks? What criteria were used to remove the voters?
Will poll voters be in for a rude surprise when they discover they aren't registered this November?
Is your name one of the quarter million names purged from the voter rolls without explanation?
Check here to make sure: http://wei.secstate.wa.gov/osos/VoterVault/Pages/VoterVaultDetails.aspxPass this information to your friends in WA State. Protecting our voter registration is the responsibility of each and every one of us.
Don't let a Republican Secretary of State steal this election. Vote for Jason Osgood this November. Let's get someone in that office who is computer savvy and dedicated to election integrity.
