Okay Shark, Andrew'sDad and PerriNelson - my turn.

This is more appropriate for King County bloggers, but this Skagitonian gave $50 to Accountable Elections to fight for the "liberty and justice for all" that the people of King County haven't gotten and put Initiative 25 on the ballot so King County can elect their own auditor and their own elections division.  See the people of King County don't get what 38 other counties get - which is a chance to vote up or down on their elections director via voting for their auditor.  Only in King County - okay, Soviet Socialist Republic - is that not possible.  But when you have an elected official in charge of elections, this increases accountability.  Unlike with most, if not all, of the 38 other counties - King County's elected official will do just elections and not also finances, property, public records and licenses.  Just elections - so King County Elections under a CEO directly accountable to the people can remove their dogpiles from our elections.  So when I-25 makes the ballot (signatures just need verification and that another month will be needed to verify the signed petitions and yes, there's a cushion), please consider donating to I-25 to clean up the dogpiles!!!
