Stefan's new claims about military ballots shot down

Carla of Preemptive Karma has a post today refuting unsoundpolitics blogger Stefan Sharkansky's recent claims that military ballots weren't mailed out in time to the troops:
Stefan: I contacted both the Secretary of State's office and King County Records and Elections yesterday to give them an opportunity to respond to my findings. The Secretary of State's office responded today with evidence indicating that King County misled them last October. King County did not dispute my findings.

I contacted both the Secretary of State's office and King County Elections today to give them an opportunity to respond to your findings. My results were much different and infinitely more factual than yours, it appears.

Additionally and for future reference...just because someone doesn't call you back to "dispute your findings" doesn't make your findings correct. Brad Pitt has never contacted me to dispute my finding that he wants to put me up in a new home on the beach in Malibu. But I harbor no delusion that my "finding" is correct, either.
It's a superbly-authored, well deserved smackdown of Stefan's wild rantings and absurd claims about military ballots. Recommended.
