(Washington) Governor's race: GOP mulls next step, demands voter list
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Dec. 27, 2004 | DAVID AMMONS

Posted on 12/27/2004 4:25:56 PM PST by FairOpinion

Washington Republicans, considering whether to challenge Democrat Christine Gregoire's razor-thin victory for governor, on Monday demanded a list of the 900,000 who cast ballots in vote-rich, problem-plagued King County.

Republican state Chairman Chris Vance said the party and other backers of GOP candidate Dino Rossi have nagging questions about the vote-count in the county that tipped the race to Gregoire by a scant 130 votes last week.

"We want to know who voted in the election, and it's hard to know where we go from here (with a possible court challenge) before we get some answers," Vance said in an interview.

"We're mostly posing questions. King County is where we saw the votes changing. King County is the one county that was allowed to take ballots that were declared dead in November and bring them back to life in December."

Where's the Soviet Union's national anthem? Shouldn't it be playing right now? And we thought this kind of stuff just happened in other countries. How silly can we be?

There's now more representative government in the Ukraine than in the state of Washington.

Whoever is declared the final “winner” will spend an impotent four years in the governor’s mansion. A really sad episode for Washington, brought on either by King County’s gross incompetence or fraud.

If SHE wins, start recall petitions immediately...litigate this for four years so she never gets a moments peace.

It's a sad day when more faith can be placed in the results of the Ukranian election.

Let's play it like the socialists. Make them count them twice times three. Make the state pay for it like they did in Ohio and stretch it out as long as possible. Then point at the Dems and say, "Remember the bullshit?" come next election.

I understand that a significant number of people listed the King County elections office as their residence. I would guess that zoning laws prohibit residing at the elections office. :)
