My smarter brother has redone his sheet to cover the recount of the Washington governor's race. Counties will not report anything until that entire county has been recounted, so instead of trickling in the votes will appear in chunks. Otherwise, the spreadsheet works as before to tabulate votes (re)counted and to project the final tally based upon county-by-county percentages.
Of particular note is the "Change since first count" on the right, which reflects the change in the recounted totals from the original results in the counties recounted so far. I think this is the number everyone will be watching.
(Excerpt) Read more at murdoconline.net ...
Taking the counties that have reported into consideration, Dino Rossi is +1 compared to the original count.

The original version went over real well with Freepers and a lot of others across the internet. I hope everyone enjoys this one just as much.
Looks like Klickitat reported... they counted one more ballot than the original count, and it went for Rossi.
I will be posting screenshots from time to time on my site for those who cannot/will not download the spreadsheet. I will also post the numbers here, though I can't promise to keep up very well.
As of now:
Rossi 4,767
Gregoire 3,919
Rossi leads by 848*
*This is change of +1 for Rossi compared to the original count.
Probably keep an eye on my post for more current updates...
LOL! That's good.
I'm surprised the DUmmies aren't screaming "Vote Fraud! Rossi has an extra vote! Investigate!".
Probably two ballots stuck together the first time around.
Here's the county counts:

I'm interested too. But I don't know anything else.
Why? Demon-rats' illegalities are the daily bread, quite a duty in the East Coast. Noo, I think that they are still counting how many votes must add to the final result, to become winners.
My understanding is that no county will report until that ENTIRE COUNTY has been recounted. So a lot of other counties did start on Saturday, but they didn't complete their recount yet. Klickatat isn't all that big, so they breezed right through it and reported already.
I think this is going to go on until AT LEAST Wednesday, which is when they are supposed to be done. I'm not holding my breath on that.
Yawn! Morning, all!
Just checked, only Klickitat managed to complete theirs. I don't think I'm going to get much work done Monday...
I'm not feeling good about what is going on in the King County recount. Last night's news said they have 700+ rejected ballets that will be corrected on a new ballet and based on what the interpretation of voter intent.
Sunday a Judge rejected the Republicans attempt to stop this practice.
I agree that it looks more than a little fishy. Someone commented on my site wondering if I could work out a formula to calculate the number of votes Gregoire will pick up in King county.
I think its going to be a lot.
That's disturbing. A FReeper said that the rejected ballots are actually "spoiled" ballots. What happens is that if hte machine rejects it, the voter is given a chance to do-over with a fresh ballot, but they put the spoiled ballot away in a bag or something.
In other words, they're counting multiple votes from people who already have entered a vote.
See my #18. They're counting from the bag 'o' "spoiled" ballots... from people who got their votes rejected on-location and then were given a fresh ballot. In other words, those spoiled ballots have a legal, unrejected ballot from their respective voter already included in the totals...
King will creatively interpret the intent of all those ballots , just enough to give Gregorie a slim lead. Gotta love Clintonsta judges.
More recount results have posted.
Rossi now +107 over the first count.
