Podlodowski Rants about Sec. of State Wyman - Again

On Behalf of WEA’s More Conservative Members #43 Podlodowski Rants about Sec. of State Wyman - Again 7.18.20 I suppose, when you lie about your candidate’s opponent often enough, it becomes second nature. At least that's what it seems like whenever Tina Podlodowski starts talking about Sec. of State Kim Wyman. Before I go on, it may be worth noting here that Podlodowski ran against Kim Wyman in 2016 and lost by 296,705 votes out of 3,129,303. Podlodowski got 42.26% of the vote to Wyman’s 54.74%. One can only wonder if that drubbing has anything to do with Podlodowski’s attitude in 2020? So, what’s the beef about this time? On May 20th, Podlodowski posted the following: Here is WA, we also MUST have an outside audit of the disastrous VoteWa System that failed again and again during Filing Week. How many WA Voter registrations are not being processed, or being purged, because GOP SoS Kim Wyman won't acknowledge a busted $10M expenditure that has NEVER working properly since implementation? [Note to the reader: The typos in that quote are Podlodowski’s, not mine.] When informed of Podlodowski’s VoteWA assertions, Wyman replied, “We accomplished a nearly impossible task, against insurmountable odds, in an unthinkable time frame for $9.5 million that is working really well. A comparable statewide project is over 9 years in the making, not slated to be done until 2022 and is budgeted for $145 million." Since then, I’ve learned these additional facts: •VoteWA has been used successfully statewide in five elections. •VoteWA was used to issue 15,184,250 ballots and process the 6,244, 532 ballots received in those five elections. •Over 7,000 candidates successfully filed for office in May on VoteWA. ------------ Ken Mortland is a member of WEA-Retired, continuing a long career of activism in WEA/NEA.

Sec. of State Handles Calls for Help from Other States

On Behalf of WEA’s More Conservative Members #60 Examples of Sec. of State Wyman’s Media Appearances #3 - NBC - Coronavirus 'worst-case scenario': Could the presidential vote be done by mail? 3/26/2020 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/coronavirus-worst-case-scenario-could-presidential-vote-be-done-mail-n1168151 8.24.20 This series is in response to WA State Democratic Party Chairperson’s claiming Sec. of State Kim Wyman has not been “championing vote by mail across the country” . •Wyman said she's been inundated with calls from colleagues in other states seeking advice. •"The first thing I say is people need to understand the context," she said. "I am probably the biggest champion of vote by mail in the country, but it took us five years to move from polling places to vote-by-mail." •Every state that isn't used to voting primarily by mail will have to prepare for a huge increase in volume. •Voters need to be told not only how to v

ARE THE ATTACKS ON USPS AN ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION?

SERIOUSLY! ARE YOU KIDDIN’ ME!! #10 ARE THE ATTACKS ON USPS AN ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION? Aren’t These People Supposed to Know Better? 8.26.20 -The US Postal Service was created by an enabling act in the US Constitution. (Article I, Section 8, Clause 7). -Under the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, election protocols are the responsibility of the States, subject to the US Constitution. (The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.) It is, therefore, my opinion that the recent actions taken by Pres. Trump’s recently appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy constitute a double assault on the US Constitution. Furthermore, the timing and targeting of mail sorting and delivery capabilities are clearly intended to disrupt the upcoming General Election and set the scene for a refusal by Pres. Trump to honor the results of the election, should he be defeated.

The Righteous US v. The Evil Them

Could This Be the Beginning of a Trend? #15 The Righteous US v. The Evil Them 7.8.20 There’s a great line, spoken by Ben Franklin, in the stage play/movie “1776”. I’m paraphrasing here, but it goes something like this…. “Revolution in the first person, our revolution, is always good. It’s only bad in the third person, their revolution.” As I look at the text of President Trump’s Mt. Rushmore speech, I see this concept in the form of an effort to emphasize an “US v. Them” scenario. On the Fourth of July, I would imagine a speech would emphasize the “WE”, but that does not seem to be the case. For example: "Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children." To start with, I’m struck by the scenario of “our nation”, not theirs; the “our history”, not theirs; “our heroes”, not theirs; “our values”, not theirs; and “our children”, not theirs. It implies “they” are not p
