Hope springs eternal.

Is it true that 1,800 more votes than voters were counted in King (Communist) County?

[anniegetyourgun]

Ding-dong, the witch is deadmeat.

Will the coup d'etat that ousted Governor Rossi be reversed? Will democracy be restored to Washington State?

These are important questions sine the democrat party has developed an efficient machinery to steal close elections accross the nation. It could have easily been a Presidential Election.

[July 4th]

Rossi lost a lot of momentum at the start of this whole thing, but if a lot of voting fraud comes to light, it could really swing public opinion (and voting) in his favor. Pissed off Republicans can work wonders. (see Florida, 2000).

...the state constitution and state law say the courts - not partisan lawmakers - should hear the case

heh heh. The state constitution believes judges are not partisan lawmakers. That's rich!

[msnimje]

Excellent. I hope the shine a very bright light on the Democratic voter fraud machinge as long as possible.

[luvie]

Woo-Hoo! I am not from Washington, but I hope Rossi prevails and he can kick the witch out of "his" office!hee-hee! Of course, it will have to be disinfected! THE ORANGE REVOLUTION BEGINS!

[TASMANIANRED]

Rats can only rule in darkness. When you shine the light on them they flee.

[Libertarian444]

Yeah, baby!!!! LET'S RUMBLE!!!!

[trubluolyguy]

We just may have a re-votew after all. That is after the State Supremes reverse this judge, it goes to the 9th circuit, then sometime next year it goes to the USSC.

[HardStarboard]

Bonzo - we may get a legit governor yet. The democrats lost on every point they tried to make. We Republicans won on every counter argument to their sleazy tactics. The judge deserves a good deal of respect in this most democrat of states.

If and when it gets to state supreme court, it could be a different song. But for now - we have a winning hand.

Reject Fraudoire........ReElect Rossi

The state constitution says contested elections for governor "shall be decided by the Legislature in such a manner as shall be determined by law."

"Through this sentence, the constitution imposes a mandatory duty on only one branch of government - the Legislature," the Democrats said in court papers.

The Republicans countered that the words "as shall be determined by law" clearly delegate the task to the courts.

So the legislature passes legislation on how contested elections are decided and the courts decide the contested elections based on the written law.

This is I think is a no-brainer; no insult intended to those without brains.

After she's sworn in, she can be sworn out.

So, the glaring question raised in this article was left as neither asked nor answered: What is the 'law' passed by the Washington legislature regarding resolution of disputed elections?

If the legislature is bound to make law, and has failed to do their duty in establishing said law, then the only possible resolution is in the courts (as much as I hate the idea of another election being impacted from the bench). Any action of the legislature at this point, if no law is in place, could be argued as ex-post facto legal application.

What a freakin mess!
