Hello to interested voters and observers of the 2019 King County Elections Director election.  This is the promised new section in which Friends of Mark Greene For Director of Elections will get into elections issues a little more detailed than what you have seen on this site thus far.  Our first focus will be on ballot tabulation, and the Friends of Mark Greene idea to de-aggregate the counting system so that if any errors are found, they can be quickly spotted and analyzed by focusing on specific voting areas where the problem or problems are occurring, which is likely more difficult and takes longer in the centralized system that King County uses for counting.  

De-aggregation could also extend to ballot preparation and other areas of elections operations as well, but no dramatic changes in the present system would occur without first doing a legal analysis and weighing the "pros & cons" of any reform.  We'll be writing more about de-aggregation in this section, later, as more content is added about various issues, gradually.  The latter sections of this page are more general, but give readers a sense of direction about how a new director would operate.

The Mark Greene For Director of Elections campaign recently proposed, on this site's blog (through the post "One County, One Pamphlet"), that the county voters' pamphlets be consolidated as one pamphlet with all the districts, municipalities and jurisdictions contained within, instead of being sub-divided as is presently the case, which in the past has led to prime information being mistakenly omitted from some pamphlets, and voters not being aware of what some of their neighboring King County voters were voting on.  We believe this will be a vast improvement in reducing the chance of possible big errors, and in furthering the knowledge that voters would have about our entire county, not just certain parts of it.
