Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey has made a surprising statement regarding the security of Washington’s mail-in voting system. At a recent Indivisible Greater Vancouver meeting, Kimsey encouraged attendees to use official ballot drop boxes instead of relying on the U.S. Postal Service to return their ballots. This marks a significant shift from his previous stance, as he had stated in 2020 that vote-by-mail in Washington was ‘absolutely secure.’
Reversal on Ballot Box Cameras
Kimsey also announced the installation of cameras at ballot drop boxes, which he claimed would help secure the boxes. However, this move is a reversal from his previous position, as he had cited the high cost of such cameras, estimated to be nearly a million dollars, just two years ago. The actual cost is reportedly around half of that estimate.
