Wrapping Up Day Five
Day Five of the Washington State gubernatorial election challenge is over. We started a bit late today (9:30 AM) but also ended late as well (5:30 PM). The trial resumes next Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM.
David Goldstein of HorsesAss.org has become a regular on John Carlson's weekday KVI show, appearing along with local wingnut Stefan Sharkansky. He was on yet again today and we will again have a clip from the show that you can listen to - stay tuned.
So, recapping this afternoon (you can read the morning recap in our last post): the Democrats began presenting their case by calling ten different county auditors/elections administrators to the stand. The auditors were all pretty much asked the same questions.
As Jim Klockow notes:
As usual, we have a full wrap up of what transpired today - and we're continuing to update our index of all Pacific Northwest Portal-affiliated blog posts about the trial.

As Jim Klockow notes:
Democrats have focused on the persistent discrepancies between voters credited with voting and actual ballots cast or that they don't go through the process of crediting voters in the way King County does.This is the end of Week One. Week Two begins next Tuesday, and the Democrats will start off by calling more witnesses to the stand. We'll finish hearing from county auditors then.
...Democrats are clearly trying to prove that the problems that Republicans are focusing in King County happen in other counties of the state as well, including counties that went for Rossi.
