GOP: F#$K the Vote!

The Seattle Times today has a great story about the increasing political shenanigans of the GOP. They have been challenging voters in predominantly democratic King county. It's all a part of the grand scheme of vote tampering by the GOP in Washington state. They claim they are "cleaning up the voter rolls" when in fact they are jsut challenging people whos politics they don't like.

It also just so happens that the senior vice chair of the republican party for King county has perjured herself at least 116 times. The money quote:

In each letter, Logan also included a copy of the challenge itself, in which [Lori] Sotelo[the Vice Chair] attested "under penalty of perjury" that she had "personal knowledge" that the voter didn't reside at the address at which he or she is registered.


In numerous instances, she was wrong.

That's called perjury and it carries a 5 year sentence for each offence. Now, I'm not saying that Soltelo should get the max here but even a six month sentence and a felony on her record would go a long way to making this right. Oh! and then she wouldn't be allowed to vote.... Too bad!
