MORGAN, P.J.

This case includes a counterclaim for violation of the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA), as well as various other claims and counterclaims. It presents a plethora of issues. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

The events at issue occurred in the fall of 1996. They concern how the Pierce County Auditor was "remaking" absentee ballots. Preliminarily then, we must understand the "remaking" process.
