EFF files complaint with Department of Justice regarding late military ballots
Olympia—The Evergreen Freedom Foundation (EFF) today filed a complaint with the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging that King County deceived federal and state authorities when it claimed all ballots for military voters were mailed on time for the November 2004 election.
“After months of attempting to obtain definitive mailing records from King County through public records requests, we are now able to conclude that King County Election officials failed to meet the federal deadline for the mailing of numerous military ballots,” said EFF President Bob Williams in the complaint.
The county has recently admitted it cannot prove when the ballots were mailed. Evidence shows some ballots were mailed late, disenfranchising an unknown number of military voters.
