41. November 2004 Elections Do Not Represent a Full and Fair Vote Tally


November 2004 Elections Do Not Represent a Full and Fair Vote Tally

Report from the Voter Integrity Project of the Evergreen Foundation, Washington State

By Bob Williams and Lynn Harsh, 3/21/2005 10:22:00 AM

Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything. -- Joseph Stalin, Communist dictator of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1953


Free and fair elections are indispensable to political freedom. Unfortunately, the election process in our state has been badly compromised, beginning a number of years ago according to some reports.

The uncorrected problems grew exponentially, and a few more were added to the pile in 2004. By the time our November 2004 election came around, conditions for the perfect storm were at hand—and it occurred.

As a result of the significant abuses, ranging from fraud to incompetence, we must conclude that our November 2004 elections do not represent a full and fair vote tally of lawfully cast ballots.
