Getting’ all Perry Mason on their ass
I must confess that I have been quite lax on keeping you all updated on the trial currently underway in Chelan County to try and wrest control of Washington State’s Governor’s office from an unelected person.
I have stayed away from it so as to not get too worked-up over all the crap that is being thrown around. From the Repubs, all you hear is “We’re gonna win this!� and from the Dems you hear “Why don’t you guys just give up?�
The Dems have made at least two motions to dismiss since it started, both of which the judge tossed out without considering. I wonder what they don’t want entered into the court’s records.
The Repubs were handed a setback on the opening day of the trial when the judge said that the only way he was going rule in their favor is if they could prove that Rossi had won. Showing incompetence in the elections board of King County, felons and illegal aliens voting and damning statistics weren’t enough for a victory under his interpretation of state law, which is part of the reason why, after that first day, I knew I didn’t want to get too emotionally attached to the possible verdict.
Here is the other part of the reason; No matter the verdict here, both sides have pledged to take it to the Washington State Supreme Court if they lose. If the Repubs win and it goes there, the left leaning majority will probably find in the Dems favor OR the court could decide that it is too politically charged and just hand the decision over to the state legislative body, both houses of which are controlled by Democrats.
A winning verdict from this judge could end up dying in committee.
Can you tell I am not hopeful here?
As for highlights in the courtroom, what I wrote about in Part Dvadtsat Shest was entered into the court record. If you missed that part, basically the absentee ballot supervisor for King County testified that her and her immediate supervisor knowingly filed an incorrect count of absentee ballots in the county with the Secretary of State so that he could certify the election.
I’d call that conspiracy to defraud or at least conspiracy to file false documents. But we’ll have to wait for the judge on that.
In other distractions to the court case, in King County, Doris McFarland, 83, and Robert Holmgren, 59, each admitted in King County District Court that they forged the signatures of and cast ballots for their recently deceased spouses.
$500 fines for each of them, but no jail time.
There has not been one single word on even an investigation into felons voting illegally in the county. Both of these people were caught because they had the good morals to admit to breaking the law. I guess a list of names and addresses of people whose ballots are verifiable as processed just isn’t enough to charge or arrest a felon in King County.
I was going to get a house alarm for Casa de Analog, but now that they have an 83 year old double voter processed through the system, I feel much safer! Poor fluffy will have to go without her tin of meat this month.
Anyway, reporting from behind enemy lines under taxation without representation, this has been the Analog Kid.
