King County Elections: Was Your Ballot Counted?

Last edited Thu Sep 3, 2015, 12:39 AM - Edit history (1)

From candidate Zack Hudgins--my old homie from the 11th LD. His opponent is fine on election integrity issues, but we need to pay more attention to making votes count and removing barriers to voting. Luckily, no actively vote suppressing Repubs are in this race.


Are you the one person in fifty who sent their ballot back to the elections office and had it rejected? Public reports show that over 30,000 ballots were sent back to the elections office and weren't counted in 2014. Since King County moved to an all vote by mail system, more than 2% of ballots have been rejected in every election.

This is unacceptable.

Pierce and Thurston Counties are rejecting ballots at a rate that is four times lower than here in King County. We should do better.

I am writing because I need your help finding the voters who had their ballots rejected.

If your ballot has been rejected, we want to know. If you know of someone who had their ballot rejected, we want to know. When 30,000 ballots are not counted each year, it is a problem. We need you to help solve this problem before the integrity of our elections are compromised further.

Please reply to this email, or call our campaign headquarters at 206-860-9809 if you or someone you know has had a problem with their ballot in a recent election.

Thank you,

Zack

PS If your ballot was counted properly, that is good. You can still help the campaign with a five dollar contribution, by clicking here. Every dollar helps get this message out – it is time for a change in leadership at the King County Elections Office.
