Washington State Democratic Chairs Organization

Hi everyone,

Our Secretary of State candidate, Jason Osgood (http://www.jasonosgood.com/), has been looking at the voter rolls over the last few years, and he noticed something that he has not been able to explain. He ran some queries, and found quite a few people who were on the rolls in 2004, but are not there now. There are numerous potential reasons for this, but the most troubling possibility is that the Secretary of State is following the Help America Vote Act to the letter. If someone has not voted in two consecutive federal elections, the law allows that voter to be removed from the rolls. I think we can set the potential reasons aside and deal with this as the opportunity it is.
