#The Washington county Auditor

[strictlyfavorites]

One state prosecutor and one civilian plaintiff have already won huge fines and damages from Donald Trump that may, with legal costs, exceed $500 million.

Trump awaits further civil and criminal liability in three other federal, state, and local indictments.

There are eerie commonalities in all these five court cases involving plaintiff E. Jean Carroll, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James, federal special counsel Jack Smith, and Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis.

One, they are either unapologetically left-wing or associated with liberal causes. They filed their legal writs in big-city, left-wing America—Atlanta, New York, Washington—where liberal judges and jury pools predominate in a manner not characteristic of the country at large.

Two, they are overtly political. Bragg, James, and Willis have either campaigned for office or raised campaign funds by promising to get or even destroy Donald Trump.

Carroll’s suit was funded by left-wing billionaire Reid Hoffman.

Smith sued to rush his court schedule in hopes of putting Trump on trial before the November election.

Three, there would not be any of these cases had Donald Trump not run for the presidency or not been a conservative.

Carroll’s suit bypassed statute of limitation restrictions by prompting the intervention of a left-wing New York legislator. He passed a special bill, allowing a one-year window to waive the statute of limitations for sexual assault claims from decades past.

Until Trump, no New York prosecutor like James had ever filed a civil suit against a business for allegedly overvaluing real estate assets to obtain loans that bank auditors approved and were paid back in full, on time, and with sizable interest profits to the lending institutions.

Alvin Bragg bootstrapped a Trump private non-disclosure agreement into a federal campaign violation in a desperate effort to find something on Trump.

Smith is also charging Trump with insurrectionary activity. But Trump had never been so charged with insurrection, much less convicted of it.

Willis strained to find a way to criminalize Trump’s complaints about his loss of Georgia in the 2020 national election. She finally came up with a racketeering charge, usually more applicable to mafiosi and drug cartels.

Four, in all these cases, the charges could have been equally applicable to fellow left-wing public figures and officials.

Joe Biden, like Trump, was accused of sexual assault decades earlier by former staffer Tara Reade. Yet Reade was torn apart by the media and the left for inconsistencies in her memory. By contrast, the wildly inconsistent and amnesiac E. Jean Carroll won $83 million from Trump.

Jack Smith created the precedent of charging former president Trump for unlawfully removing classified files to his private residence.

But the government simultaneously did not charge Joe Biden for similar offenses. Yet Biden had removed files not for two years but for more than 30. He stored them not in one location but several.

His rickety garage was a mess, not a secure family compound like Trump’s estate. Moreover, Biden did so while a senator and vice president, without any presidential authority to declassify almost any presidential document he wished.

Biden never came forward to report the crime for over thirty years—until Trump was charged. Indeed, he was caught on tape six years ago, admitting to his ghostwriter that he possessed classified files but never reported it.

Bragg might have noticed that both Hillary Clinton (fined $113,000) and Barack Obama (fined $350,000) broke campaign financing laws. Neither was subject to federal criminal charges by local prosecutors.

An array of left-wing celebrities, politicians, 2004 House Members, former Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams have all recently challenged elections. They sought either to delay or redo ballot counting or, on the federal level, to sidetrack electors to ignore popular votes in their respective states.

These lawfare cases are part of other efforts that were highly partisan and without merit. Recall the Trump “Russian collusion” hoax and the “Russian disinformation” laptop farce.

In another first, some blue states are suing to take Trump’s name off the ballot for “insurrection,” a crime for which he has never been charged.

Total up the deaths, damage, and length of the summer 2020 Antifa/BLM riots. Then compare the tally to the one-day January 6 riot.

The former proved far more lethal, long-lasting, and destructive. Yet very few of the 14,000 arrested rioters in 2020 were ever prosecuted, much less convicted.

By contrast, the Biden administration sought to jail hundreds for crimes allegedly committed on January 6, such as “illegal parading.”

We are entering a dangerous era in America.

Ideology and party affiliations increasingly determine guilt and punishment. Opponents are first targeted, and then laws are twisted and redefined to convict them.

The left is waging lawfare with the implicit message to political opponents: either keep quiet or suffer the consequences.

I have reason to believe, based on a rabbit hole I went down last night, that there is an ongoing war happening between the National Parks Service and the US Park Police. I take no joy in reporting that the National Parks Service isn't immune from ACAB, with the Park Police being undisciplined dickhead cowboys with unchecked authority in the greater DC Metro area. Even the local county police hate them to the point of leaking evidence the Park Police have withheld from the public and bringing manslaughter charges against Park Police officers following the killing of Binam Ghaisar. Charges that were only stopped by FBI intervention and a proceeding cover up. The legacy of which haunts the organization and colors everything that has happened in the last few months.

There seems to have been what I can only describe as a soft coup by appointing Jessica Taylor as park police chief. The park police union has been eroding the legitimacy of the National Parks Service (otherwise a very progressive liberal institution in comparison to basically every other US government agency) for decades now and I think the wider agency is trying to reign them in even if that means bringing in a rival ex Secret Service hatchet-woman turned EPA auditor. Its worth noting that the Secret Service have a long history of resentment towards the Park Police due to overlapping jurisdictions within Washington DC and their general lack of discipline with their rivalry often breaking out into outright hostility including the assault and detention of a black Secret Service agent. Being a former Secret Service agent, Taylor would be well aware of the Park Police's reputation before her appointment.

Her appointment was rushed through by Park Service’s associate director of visitor and resource protection Jennifer Flynn, seemingly against the wishes of the police union who expected the Park Service to rubber stamp their candidate like previous appointments.

To which I say-- Lol. Lmao even. The Park Police are clearly used to appointing their own oversight and have an incredibly disproportionate amount of power within the NPS that is increasingly at odds with the rest of the agency. All this in mind, it really reads like Flynn brought Taylor in as a deliberate outsider in the hopes of bringing more oversight to the organization that won't immediate fold to the union or engage with their over-up plans every time the Park Police murder someone.

Jennifer Flynn, for her part, doesn't come from the Park Police but instead spent her whole career as a Park Ranger working in various capacities. Maybe its just me but when you see her you think "oh yeah that's definitely what I would expect a park ranger to look like" unlike the hotdog necks at the USPP. While only the associate director, she's been working quietly and smartly to find ways to reign in the park police including amending their jurisdiction over "felony investigations of property crimes, and crimes against society such as serious drug related offenses" under the guise of staffing cuts. To be clear, she unilaterally made the decision that the Park Police may no longer investigate or arrest citizens for non-violent offenses. Again, I can't help but see this as a direct response from sympathetic members of the agency to the Park Police's killing of Bijan Ghaisar to gradually remove the Park Police's authority to carry out law enforcement except when absolutely necessary.

Its an interesting situation to be sure, and while I don't count these two ladies as any sort of socialist heroes on "our side" (they're federal enforcement officers at the end of the day) I'm willing to lend them critical support in their attempts to quietly defang the Park Police. Maybe its wishful thinking but I like to imagine based on everything I've read that there is some sort of concentrated deliberate effort being done here that's successfully circumvented politics by *actually wielding authority to drive positive change* even if they know the limits of their authority necessitates that they do it quietly. USPP clearly thinks of themselves as police officers first and members of the National Parks Service second, and are clearly at odds with the rest of their organization's values. I hope this continues until we see the Park Police be restructured into glorified mall cops with no institutional influence while the bulk of their role is taken over by more responsible organizations within the NPS like the National Park Service Law Enforcement Rangers and other special agents that prioritize the safety of the public over brutalizing people over property enforcement & petty crimes.

Why am I posting this here???... Because so much of my writing has to do with the National Parks Service and the Department of the Interior. Here I am with potentially a genuine case of inter-agency intrigue while conducting completely unrelated research. You can't blame me for wanting to dig into this more and see where it goes. Consider this a story, food for thought, when thinking about these organizations.

Velayo v. Shell

G.R. No. L-7817 October 31, 1956

Facts:

Since the start of CALFs operations, its fuel needs were all supplied by the defendant. the books, of the Defendant showed a balance... in its favor for goods it sold and delivered to CALI.

Defendant had reasons to believe that the financial condition of the CALI was for from being satisfactory, the management of CALI informally convened its principal creditors

Mr. Alexander Sycip, Secretary of the Board of Directors of the CALI, informed the creditors present that this corporation was insolvent and had to stop operations. He explained the memorandum agreement executed by... the CALI with the Philippine Air Lines), Inc. regarding the proposed sale to the latter of the aviation equipment's of the former

Mr. Alexander Sycip was assisted in the explanation by CPA Alfredo Velayo of Washington, Sycip & Company, Auditors of the CALI, who discussed the balance sheets and distributed copies thereof to the creditors present

The said balance sheet made mention of a C-54 plane in the United States, the property now involved in this suit.

After the creditors present knew the balance sheet and heard the explanations of the officers of the CALI, it was their unanimous opinion that it would be advantageous not to present suits against this corporation but to strive for a fair... pro-rata division of its assets... although the management of the CALI announced that in case of non-agreement of the creditors on a pro-rata division of the assets, it would file insolvency proceedings... the American corporation Shell Oil Company, Inc., filed a complaint against -the CALI in the Superior Court of the State of California, U.S.A. in and for the County of San- Bernardino for the collection of an assigned credit... and a writ of attachment was applied for and issued on the same date against a C-54 plane

Unaware of Defendants assignments of credit and attachment suit, the stockholders of CALI resolved in a special meeting... to approve the memorandum agreement of sale to the Philippine Air Lines, Inc.

the National Airports Corporation learned of Defendant's action in the United States and hastened to file its own complaint with attachment against the CALI

The CALI,... also prompted by Defendant's action in getting the alleged undue preference over the other creditors by attaching the C-54 plane in the United States, beyond the jurisdiction of the Philippines, filed... a petition for voluntary insolvency.

an order of insolvency was issued by the court... which necessarily stayed the National Airports Corporation's action against the CALI and dissolved its attachment... thus compelling the National Airports Corporation to file its claims with the insolvency... court

After properly qualifying as Assignee, Alfredo M. Velayo instituted this case... against the Shell Company of P. I., Ltd., for the purpose of securing from the Court a writ of injunction... restraining Defendant, its agents, servants, attorneys and solicitors from prosecuting in and for the County of San Bernardino in the Superior Court of the State of California, U.S.A. the aforementioned Civil Case No. 62576 against the in solvent Commercial Air Lines, Inc.

and as an alternative remedy,... that judgment for damages in double the value of the airplane be awarded in favor of plaintiff against Defendant, with costs.

the Court rendered decision... dismissing the complaint

Issues:

Whether or no... the defendant Shell Company of the P. I., Ltd., taking advantage of its knowledge of the existence of CALI's airplane C-54 at the Ontario International Airport within the Country of San Bernardino, State of California, U. S.

A.,... acted in bad faith and betrayed the confidence and trust of the other creditors of CALI... by affecting a hasty telegraphic transfer of its credit to the American corporation Shell Oil Company, Inc.

Ruling:

Defendant, upon learning the precarious economic situation of CALI and that with all probability, it could not get much of its outstanding cerdit because of the preferred ... claims  of certain other creditors, forgot that "Man does not live by bread alone" and entirely disregarded all moral inhibitory tenets.

The telegraphic transfer made without knowledge and at the back of the other creditors of CALI may be a shrewd and... surprise move that enabled Defendant to collect almost all if not the entire amount of its credit, but the Court of Justice cannot countenance such attitude at all, and much less from a foreign corporation to the detriment of our Government and local business.

ART 19. Any person must, in the exercise of his rights and in the performances of his duties, act with justice, give everyone his due and observe honesty and good faith".

It maybe said that this article only contains a mere declarations of principles and while such statement may be is essentially correct, yet We find that such declaration is implemented by Article 21... which prescribe the following: 

"ART. 21. Any person who willfully causes loss or injury to another in a manner that is contrary to morals, good customs or public policy shall compensate the latter for the damage".

It may be argued that the aforequoted provisions of the Civil Code only came into effect on August 80, 1950, and that they cannot be applicable to acts that took place in 1948, prior to its effectivety. But Article 2252 of the Civil Code, though providing... that: 

''Changes made and new provisions and rules land down by this Code which may be prejudice or impair vested or acquired rights in accordance with the old legislation, shall have no retroactive effect.

mplies that when the new provisions of the Code does nor prejudice or impair vested or acquired rights in accordance with the old legislation and it cannot be alleged that in the case at bar Defendant had any vested or acquired right to betray the confidence of the... insolvent CALI or of its creditors said new provisions, like those on Human Relations, can be given retroactive effect.

the Defendant schemed and affected the transfer of its credits (from which it could derive practically nothing) to its sister corporation in the

United States where CALI's plane C-54 was then situated, succeeding by such swift and unsuspected operation in disposing of said insolvent's property by removing it from the possession and ownership of the insolvent.

Wherefore, and on the strength of the foregoing considerations, the decision appealed from is reversed and Defendant-Appellee, Shell Company of the Philippine Islands, Ltd., is hereby sentenced to pay to Plaintiff-Appellant, as Assignee of the insolvent CALI, damages

Anti-“grooming” candidate lost teaching job over accusations of inappropriate relationship with kids

After losing her write-in campaign to become the top election official in Washington County, Utah, a right-wing hate group leader’s history of pursuing young teenage girls has been revealed. Patricia Kent was forced to resign her job teaching middle school girls as young as 11 after her “relationship with her young female students became a matter of public knowledge in the school community.” In October, Kent led a rally denouncing the LGBTQ community, displaying pictures of young girls at a Pride event in the county. “They are grooming our children for immoral satanic worship,” she asserted. According to the Utah Professional Practices Advisory Commission (UPPAC), Kent used her position as a middle school teacher to “foster intimate and dependent relationships with young teen-aged girls.” She wrote the children intimate notes, gave them gifts, and discussed inappropriate personal details with them, against the express wishes of the students’ parents and warnings from supervisors, according to documents reviewed by the Salt Lake City Tribune. UPPAC also found evidence that Kent engaged in sexual relationships with at least one of the young girls, but the evidence wasn’t sufficient to bring formal charges. Kent was forced to resign and her teaching certificate was suspended in 2000. That same year, she filed a lawsuit against the school board where she alleged her rights were violated. Court records show that a settlement was reached in the case and the case was dismissed. The terms of the settlement are not a part of that record other than that neither party was ordered to pay the other’s attorneys’ fees. “It’s absurd that 26 years later, people are making a big issue out of this,” Kent told The Tribune. She implied that she won cash in the settlement. “If I was guilty of what I was accused of, I would have been put in jail, OK. I wasn’t… I was paid off. And that should be the end of it. I am not one to live in the past. Like I said, I’ve moved on with my life. I continue to do what I need to do to live a normal life.” Her own lawyer, Stephen Cook, who is now retired, said that the settlement isn’t a sign that she was exonerated. “It wouldn’t apply in a case like this at all,” he said. “So I don’t know where she’s getting that.” The failed candidate, 71, is a longtime political activist and current “national chair” of the Independent American Party, which endorsed her write-in campaign. Kent is also the founder of the Liberty Action Coalition, established in 2020 to protest an assortment of right-wing bogeymen, including Black Lives Matter, mask mandates, mandatory COVID vaccinations for children, and socialism. That year, Kent urged members to show up armed to a counter-protest of a rumored Black Lives Matter demonstration in the county seat. “I learned a long time ago that talk is cheap,” Kent told the St. George News at the time. “But when it comes to defending your rights, most terrorists, most antagonists, most rioters don’t listen to anything unless you’re armed.” The former teacher added drag shows to Liberty Action’s list of grievances in 2022. “Those are children, teenagers at best, being promoted to the ideology of same-sex transgender,” she said at her campaign rally in October. “This is supposed to be the new exciting lifestyle and everybody’s supposed to love it. They are grooming our children for immoral satanic worship.” “I don’t watch Hallmark movies anymore because I never know when they’re going to sneak in that homosexual couple,” Kent continued. “They’re not good family movies anymore. We know Walt Disney is no longer family-friendly and hasn’t been for a long time.” Kent lost her bid for County Clerk/Auditor to incumbent Susan Lewis with 8.3% of the vote. http://dlvr.it/SdXG9L

The completely unnecessary news analysis

DRAG SHOWS IN ST. GEORGE — HOLY SATAN!

Hold on to your corset, some folks in St. George got their garter belts in a twist after HBO staged a drag show in Town Square Park that drew 1,400 onlookers. (We are not making this up.) “This is supposed to be the new, exciting lifestyle and everybody’s supposed to love it,” cried Patricia Kent, write-in candidate for Washington County clerk/auditor. “They are grooming our children for immoral satanic worship.” For the uninitiated, drag shows are a form of “entertainment” where men dress and behave as women. Heaven forbid! Celebrated drag performer RuPaul says this: “We are all born naked, and the rest is drag.” The LGBT Student Association at Utah Tech University in St. George also hosted a drag show. But not everyone appreciated it. Leeds Mayor Bill Hoster said drag shows are trouble with a capital T. Men dressed as women, wearing  fishnet stockings, spandex and grinding themselves on stage, he said, will warp our children's minds. For Utah Tech Professor Alexis Ence, it's all part of liberal indoctrination and she is tired of being told that drag shows are constitutionally protected free speech. Of course, we have no way of knowing exactly what the Founding Fathers were thinking. Drag shows in 1776? Maybe it's somewhere in the Federalist Papers.

GOODBYE LAKE EFFECT SNOW  — HELLO GONDOLA

The Greatest Gondola on Earth is coming and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. The “proposed” 9-mile transit system in Little Cottonwood Canyon will be the longest gondola on Earth and will be dubbed the “Rube Goldberg Gondola.” Gov. Spencer Cox just loves it. It's brilliant marketing! Skiers everywhere will rush to ride The Greatest Gondola on Earth to The Greatest Snow on Earth — if there is any. Our deep, light powder is the product of winter cold fronts blasting in from the Northwest that juice up over the warm waters of The Great Salt Lake and scoot into the funnels of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon where they gain altitude, lose temperature and dump their loads. But soon there will be no lake and no “Lake Effect” — it already has lost two-thirds of it surface area. (Oops, how did we let that happen.) The DGSL (Disappearing Great Salt Lake) is something our state leaders can't seem to comprehend, let alone get their heads around the impact it has on skiing. Lake Effect, what's that? Duh. The Little Cottonwood boondoggle will cost $550 million and $10 million in annual maintenance. More good news: Utah taxpayers will pick up the tab. And no, just because you paid for it, does't mean you ride free — on the bright side, there won't be much skiing, anyway.

OUR VERY OWN HERSCHEL WALKER

Georgia don't have nothin on Utah when it comes to old football stars pretending to be political leaders. Yeah, they got Herschel Walker — he won the Heisman Trophy at the University of Georgia, made the College Football Hall of Fame and played for several NFL teams. But we got Burgess Owens — he was first team All-American at the University of Miami, played 10 pro seasons with the New York Jets as well as the Oakland Raiders when they won the 1980 Super Bowl. And he's actually in Congress. Herschel— who is so dumb he shows up for debates — is now locked in a neck-and-neck race for Senate with Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock. Herschel has been accused of putting his shoes on the wrong feet, opening doors into his forehead and arguing that the existence of apes proves evolution is nothing but liberal lunacy. But that ain't nothin, our guy Owens wants to renew nuclear testing; operated a non-profit for incarcerated youth even though most of the money somehow disappeared. You know he had to be one helluva motivational speaker. And he's way too smart to debate his opponents. Owens is a Trumper and refused to certify the election of Joe “I Stole It” Biden. When it comes to old football players lyin' their asses off and making fools of themselves to win an election, Burgess is our man.

Post script — That's a wrap for a chilly week here at Smart Bomb where we keep track of Critical Race Theory (CRT) so you don't have to. SURPRISE! According to a State Auditor's report, there is no evidence that CRT is being taught in Utah public schools. What a relief! You're right Wilson, it's just another Republican racial dog whistle the white stiff necks on Capitol Hill had to fall all over in perfect coordination with other Red States. Call it telepathy or an orchestrated effort by the national GOP leadership to remind folks that a black boogieman is lurking near their kid's classroom. The audit did note, however, that a high school history textbook said the United States was founded on the ideology of white supremacy. So we had a little slavery and so the Constitution says blacks are three-fifths of a person, that doesn't scream, “white supremacy,” does it? (Think clever segue here.) From our “News-You-Can-Use” -file: Napoleon Dynamite eats Tater Tots. (We are not making this up.) For the uninitiated, he is a Mormon character in a movie by the same name. According to the Deseret News, “[T]he scene where Napoleon Dynamite has Tater Tots overflowing in his pants pockets might just be one of the most on-the-nose depictions of Latter-day Saint culture yet.”

Alright Wilson, here's your big chance. The band can choose between playing a Mormon hymn or something apropos for drag shows in St. George. When you think about it, a Mormon hymn would work for both since St. George is historically a Mormon town. It would give hymns like “I Stand All Amazed,” new meaning... OK, whatever:

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.

Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A. Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her legs and then he was a she She says, "Hey, babe, Take a walk on the wild side." Said, "Hey, honey, Take a walk on the wild side."

And the colored girls say, "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..." Little Joe never once gave it away Everybody had to pay and pay A hustle here and a hustle there New York City's the place Where they said, "Hey, babe, Take a walk on the wild side." I said, "Hey, Joe, Take a walk on the wild side."

And the colored girls say, "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..." Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets Looking for soul food and a place to eat Went to the Apollo You should've seen them go, go, go They said, "Hey, sugar, Take a walk on the wild side."

Steve Hobbs would be Washington's first Democratic secretary of state in 6 decades if elected

Steve Hobbs would be Washington’s first Democratic secretary of state in 6 decades if elected

Washington voters will soon decide whether to elect their first Democratic secretary of state in six decades or, instead, send a longtime county auditor to be the state’s first nonpartisan chief elections officer. Republicans were shut out of the state’s top two primary in August, which sent current Democratic Secretary of State Steve Hobbs and nonpartisan Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson to…

One of the people carrying out the election “audit” in Maricopa County, Arizona, kinda sorta admitted yet another big error in that drive to discredit President Joe Biden’s win in that state and set the stage for further efforts to delegitimize the 2020 elections.

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann had accused county officials of deleting data before handing it over, a charge the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors fiercely rebutted this week, writing that “the failure of your so called ‘auditors’ to locate data files on the copy they made of the County’s server speaks more to their ineptitude than it does to the integrity and actions of our dedicated public employees who effectively and accurately run the elections in the fourth largest county in the United States.”

Donald Trump seized on the accusation of deleted data, claiming, “The entire Database of Maricopa County in Arizona has been DELETED! This is illegal and the Arizona State Senate, who is leading the Forensic Audit, is up in arms.”

And then, on Tuesday, the founder of CyFIR, one of the companies working on the “audit,” admitted that “subsequently I've been able to recover all of the deleted files and I have access to that data.” Which is to say, the board was right and the files were there all along:

Just want to underscore that AZ Senate’s @ArizonaAudit account accused Maricopa County of deleting files- which would be a crime- then a day after our technical letter explained they were just looking in the wrong place- all of a sudden “auditors” have recovered the files.  🤔

Mistakes are a nonstop event at the “audit,” post-election audit expert Jennifer Morrell wrote in The Washington Post in a detailed account of her time observing what was going on in Maricopa County.

“In more than a decade working on elections, audits and recounts across the country, I’ve never seen one this mismanaged,” Morrell recounted. For instance, “I was stunned to see spinning conveyor wheels, whizzing hundreds of ballots past ‘counters,’ who struggled to mark, on a tally sheet, each voter’s selection for the presidential and Senate races. They had only a few seconds to record what they saw. Occasionally, I saw a counter look up, realize they missed a ballot and then grab the wheel to stop it. This process sets them up to make so many mistakes, I kept thinking.”

That wasn’t the only point in the process at which mistakes were introduced or accepted—procedures for catching and correcting mistakes were seriously lacking, allowing for “a shocking amount of error. Some table managers told the counters to go back and recount when there were too many errors; other table managers just instructed the counters to fix their ‘math mistakes.’”

Morrell heard volunteers getting worked up over things they saw as evidence of suspicious ballots (Cheeto dust! Ballots cast in person that had been folded!) but that she, as an experienced auditor, knew were entirely normal things to find amidst millions of ballots. And she saw them using lots of cameras and other equipment that left her with still more concerns: “Usually, all equipment that election officials use to handle a ballot—from creating to scanning to tallying it—has been federally tested and certified; often, states will conduct further tests before their jurisdictions accept the machines. It jarred me to see volunteers using this untested, uncertified equipment on ballots, claiming that the images would be used at some point in the future for an electronic re-tally.”

Her conclusion? “This is not an audit, and I don’t see how this can have a good outcome.”

Hi this debate is pissing me off so instead of ranting about it, I'm gonna provide some resources for (Washingtonian) voters. If you have a Washington State driver's license, you can register here. You can also register with the last four digits of your SSN with a paper form, so call (we can mail you one!) or visit your county auditor's office to fill it out in person. Feel free to ask questions (dming or in the replies), because it's literally my job. Also check your county auditor's website, as some counties, including mine, are opening drive-thru voting centers where you can get register to vote, get a replacement ballot, whatever you need to do, from your car. Ballots are being sent out on October 8th, but you can still register after then.

You can register at 16*. You can register up until 8 PM on election day*. You can register even if you don't have a driver's license*. Register to vote.

*In Washington State
