Their duties shall be to examine the postmark, receipt mark, date of oath, and statement on the outer envelope containing the vote -by -mail ballot, and to verify that the voter's signature thereon is the same as that on the voter registration record. This may be done prior to election day.

All of the above delegated authority is to be exercised under the supervision of the Whatcom County Auditor in accordance with the Administrative Rules adopted by the Canvassing Board and the Secretary of State. All issues, which cannot be resolved to a reasonable certainty by supervisory personnel, shall be decided solely by the Canvassing Board and no ballot can be rejected except by the Board. This delegation of authority by the Canvassing Board for opening and subsequent processing of vote -by -mail ballots may begin immediately upon receipt before any special, primary, or general election and shall end no later than the certification of the election results of any special, primary, or general election, inclusive of all applicable recounts.

Another effort imple- mented intercounty bus service despite transit agencies' doubt. My approach to problem -solving is creative persistence: need and love. My desire to be mayor stems from a belief that we must grow well, and that to do so, Bellingham must commit itself to manifesting a vibrant urban form that accommodates our grow- ing numbers in ways that increase our livability rather then detract from it. Such success requires visionary leadership, which I have proven I can provide: I have been a prime force and champion on measures including Lake Whatcosn protections, Greenways Initiatives, com- munity growth forums, and housing affordability.

Hand count showed 114 ballots in box downstairs and 1 write-in referred upstairs: So the count should have been 115. 8/27107 considered deleting batch count and reprocessing but could not with certainly determine which write-in ballots came from this batch so unable to do further processing. 115 Machine count reflects 1 less than it should. 116 117 109 **Efforts made to reconcile discrepancy (previously reflected difference of 1 between to dup and return 134 from dup): 100 100 1.

Karen seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. Debbie explained that voting credit will be given to the signor of the envelope. Debbie presented the outstanding ballots from the August 30th Canvassing Board meeting and explained the findings for each ballot envelope. Of the seven ballot envelopes presented, three ballot envelopes were accepted; four ballot envelopes were rejected, two of which will be referred to the Prosecuting Attorney for further investigation.
