Magnolia's Rejected Voters

This from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

"There are more than 1,500 absentee ballots that were rejected by King County elections officials because there was a signature mismatch. Democrats sued to force officials to reconsider previously rejected ballots in the ongoing hand recount, arguing that some voters were wrongly disenfranchised. The court ruled against them Tuesday."

Thanks for telling it like it is - the Democrats say "hang the rules" and "do what we say" - when it suits them. So who are these people? Here's the list from Magnolia's 98199 published in the P-I:

BRANIGAN MICHELLE MARIE 1681 SEATTLE 98199
CHAPMAN KATHARINE R 1688 SEATTLE 98199
CONROY JAMES RAYMOND 1671 SEATTLE 98199
FAHLMAN KELLY 1669 SEATTLE 98199
FOUNTAINE JAMAL DAVID 1682 SEATTLE 98199
FROWNFELTER MILAH B 1698 SEATTLE 98199
HANSON KORIN E 1816 SEATTLE 98199
HESTER CATHERINE E 1813 SEATTLE 98199
HILL LAWRENCE E 1686 SEATTLE 98199
HUERTAS JUDY A 1697 SEATTLE 98199
KJELDTOFT MARIA SONJA 1692 SEATTLE 98199
KOENIG PAUL M 1673 SEATTLE 98199
KOZBER WERNER 1692 SEATTLE 98199
KUO TONY 1689 SEATTLE 98199
LEWELLEN ANDREA B 1664 SEATTLE 98199
MCHUGH LAURIE B 1672 SEATTLE 98199
OHARA CAROL L 1816 SEATTLE 98199
OLIVER MARGARET NICHOLS 1703 SEATTLE 98199
PHILLIPS LAWRENCE R 1661 SEATTLE 98199
PIZARRO ANSELMO O 1813 SEATTLE 98199
SCHWEITZER JESSICA ANN 1693 SEATTLE 98199
SULLIVAN CASEY S 1682 SEATTLE 98199
WILSON WENDY A 1692 SEATTLE 98199

So who are these twenty three? I have lived in Magnolia for eighteen years, and been involved in campaigns in this legislative district for twenty (having lived in it for over forty years all told). I compared this group with Democrat-provided "walking lists" from a recent school levy campaign. With the exception of King County Councilman Larry Phillips (who hied off to Ohio to campaign for John Kerry, according to reports, and had not time to fix up his absentee ballot signature card), this group (it strikes me) is NOT 4X4 Democrat voters (meaning those who vote Democrat every time). They are probably new voters, most likely Bush-haters - but are they 2-1 against Dino? Tough to say, but if a "new" run-off election were ordered by the Supreme Court tomorrow, I would give better than even odds that they would either not show up to vote for the Gr(egoire)inch - or would vote Dinocrat!
