Cleaning up the voter rolls, one illegal voter at a time

The federal appeals court judge who was illegally registered to vote at the King County Administration Building has re-registered at her lawful residence address, heading off a formal challenge to her registration.

1. It's easy to be a liberal.
Out of sight, out of mind.

Only that wacky right-winger Stephan Sharkansky
is reporting this, and Judge Fletcher is not
registered at an invalid address any longer so
everything is fine now.

2. If this is illegal, this would be a good case for a trial, with penalty, to discourage others Stefan hasn't caught.

And why is this judge still a judge. Someone should file a complaint and get the judge disbarred.

3. Oh yea, and shame on EFF for stalking these two paragons of virtue whose only "crime" is that they care so very very much ;'}

4. Lead by example. Here are a judge and professor of law? Teaching standards & holding others to standards. No excuses. Pure arrogance--not a slip of the mind. Common guy in church pew gets the morals lecture. Preacher continues his double life. Wake up, voters.

5. Is Fletcher still on the bench?

She committed a felony, so how can she still practice law, much less be a judge?

I'm sure that when she hears cases, she doesn't have any problem using the law to punish the crimes of political incorrectness that this regions spends so much time prosecuting.

6. Way to go EFF, about time that couple did the right thing. Another poor reflection on the Washington judicial system that it took a sitting judge and her attorney prof. spouse 9 months to figure out what was legal and right.

Now how about making sure that everyone registered to vote at a public building only gets to vote a federal ballot, as provided by Law, instead of the local ballot they are currently allowed to vote? If they do not have a proper address, how will they prove state residency?

7. HOoray for the EFF! Keep at it, guys! If they're gonna make citizens responsible for cleaning up the voter rolls, then we'll applaud the EFF every time it takes on stuff like this!

8. Resolve over Fletcher's felonious activities hinges on politics alone.
Prosecutorial discretion aside, how can this simply go away? Simple, it’s easy to be a liberal.
The rules are different for them.

What are Rob McKenna, and John McKay thinking?
Only (hopefully very little) time will tell.

If prosecuted, they will plead nolo contendre and be offered a reduced charge acknowledged by
allocution to the effect that they didn't do anything wrong, they had a good reason for doing it,
they promise not to do it again (not), but they are sorry we are unhappy with these false accusations against them.

9. Why does this go away? If the bank robber returns the money are the charges dropped? If you pay the IRS are the charges dropped? These two people are aware of the law and absolutly ignored it for what ever rational they had in mind at the time. Obviously if judges hold the law in contempt the citizens are not far behind. See car theft.

10. All of the thinking voters (the minority) should
write Rob McKenna and request she be charged.She
certainly has the same "rights" as we do to be prosecuted for breaking the law-doesn't she?

13. Sam, Sam, Sam,
I agree, and several times.

14. We're supposed to "just move on," right? Like another WA sup. ct. judge who did the drunken bumper-car skit, said 'sorry' and "moved on?" Joe Citizen would have still been in jail. What a system!
