King County Ballot Drop Boxes Are Insecure

You only have to look at one to understand that. As the counting winds down in the Seattle mayoral race, controversy may heat up as officials deal with a vandalized ballot box and 5,700 ballots with signatures that don't match those on file. . . . ...

It's Time To Call Your Congressman

It isn't too late to urge them to vote against the 2000-page monstrosity that Speaker Pelosi is calling health insurance reform. The Democratic leadership is trying to rush the vote, but has not twisted enough arms to have 218 votes for the bill, even ...

Bruce Ramsey Misses Election Day

Now, he says, we just have Ballot-Counting Day. To me, it was important to go to vote.  There was ritual to it, and personal contact. Always there was a row of poll workers. Mine was a lady well past retirement age.  I don't remember her name; I ...

One Great Comment

Great Negative Ad

47-42
