KUOW news editor Gil Aegerter was poking around on the Washington state elections website when he noticed something strange: You can print out a ballot for anyone, as long as you know their birthday.
To demonstrate, he pulls up a ballot for Secretary of State Kim Wyman, who is in charge of elections in Washington.
[...]
That's because a signature is required when you return your ballot, which is checked against a copy of your signature that's kept on file. Wyman calls it security "at the back end."
Aegerter pulls a copy of Wyman's signature online. Wyman's still not worried.
"
It also happens that our last local elections swung by 7-13% after the election night counts. Just a coincidence.
Edit: It's worse than I thought. Obviously, once people accept the inacceptable, you push one step further. Before long we'll decide elections by Twitter likes.

This year, military and overseas voters will be allowed to vote electronically in Washington's presidential primary. Wyman backed a bill this legislative session to try and kill that. It failed.
