King County's announcement that it would prosecute what Secretary of State Sam Reed dubbed the worst case of vote fraud in Washington State history, was followed by an outstanding editorial on vote fraud by Wall Street Journal columist John Fund. The editorial acknowledged the role BIAW played in uncovering the rampant vote fraud in Washington State, as well as validated BIAW's long-standing contention that former U.S. Attorney John McKay should have investigated vote fraud in the 2004 election. Fund noted other U.S. attorneys have successfully prosecuted vote fraud based on much less evidence than has been uncovered in Washington State read WSJ column.
