Ray Minchew's Quote of the Day

"Hamilton, the Democratic Party attorney who questioned Logan, said it would be a mistake to read too much into one question from Bridges about problems in King County. "Obviously it's not a reason to overturn the election, and I think he knows that," Hamilton said. "But I think he wants to know that somebody is addressing the underlying issues." During his questioning of Logan and later of Linda Sanchez, the county's elections-operations supervisor, Hamilton asked about the temporary and mostly elderly workers who run polling places. He got reassurances from officials that the workers do the best they can under trying conditions. After court, Hamilton said Republicans are "just picking on a bunch of senior citizens who are the heartbeat of our democracy and run these polling places.You want to yell at [poll workers], fine. You can do that, but that's not a reason to overturn an election," Hamilton told reporters. "You want to find, after a 14-hour day, a 78-year-old retired Boeing mechanic making a math error? That's not why we overturn elections."-from the story today in The Seattle Times. Ray says, "Finally! Best quote in the governor's race comes from an attorney."
