With former (and fired) King County Election Superintendent Julie Anne Kempf in the news again (she’s under investigation for creating fraudulent documents) I’d like to say: I told you so. And I’d especially like to say I told you so to Ron Sims. Back in 1999, when Kempf was assistant superintendent of elections, I caught her messing with finance records, and I broke a big story in the Stranger about it. Ron Sims wrote a letter to the Stranger saying my story was inaccurate, and promptly promoted her to superintendent. Nice job, Ron. Kempf was subsequently fired after the screwy abesentee ballot mess in November 2002. Well, she’s baaack. And it only reminds me how badly Sims has mismanaged the county elections office.
