Halfway through the day

Well, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my two segments on Kirby Wilbur's show this morning. A clip is forthcoming but it will not be available for a few days. When it does become available, I'll post it and let you know.

So far today, we've heard from King County Elections Director Dean Logan, whose testimony has taken up the entire morning's proceedings. Archerhouse has play-by-play summaries for those interested in specific details.

David Postman offers some interesting and insightful tidbits as well:

"You don't appear to be running out of breath," Judge John Bridges told Democratic Party attorney Kevin Hamilton during his lengthy re-direct of King County Elections Director Dean Logan.

Hamilton just told the judge that Democrats had hoped to rest their case today, but that tomorrow now looks more likely. The trial is scheduled to run through Friday.

Logan, who was on the stand for three hours during the morning session, will complete his testimony after the break.

There were a few testy exchanges between him and Republican attorney Rob Maguire, and once Judge John Bridges told Maguire his questions were bordering on being argumentative.

Under questioning by Hamilton, Logan talked about polling place workers and said that after this trial it will be more difficult to recruit people, mostly senior citizens, to fill those jobs in future elections.

It seems increasingly likely that we will get a ruling from Bridges on Friday from the bench. All eyes will indeed be on Wenatchee this Friday, and, as usual, we will be on top of any breaking news or developments out of the courtroom.
