Lawsuit seeks to stop disqualification of WA ballots for signature mismatches

Plaintiffs include Vet Voice Foundation, El Centro de la Raza, Washington Bus, and three King Co. voters whose ballots were rejected

Named as defendants: Sec. State Steve Hobbs, King Co. Elections Director Julie Wise, and two county canvassing board members

I should note @InvestigateWest has been all over this issue, pretty much foreshadowing this lawsuit, which has been in the works for while. Read: seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p

Tens of thousands of otherwise legitimate votes have been rejected in recent elections not because of suspected fraud, but because the signatures didn’t match.

Why does WA reject tens of thousands of ballots? Hint: It’s not fraud
