Reed Orders Machine Recount in Governor's Race
Media Advisory Issued: November 17, 2004
All counties in Washington have certified returns from the 2004 General Election. Secretary of State Sam Reed has officially ordered a machine recount in the race for Governor.
The difference in the votes cast for Christine Gregoire and Dino Rossi is 261 votes, with Rossi leading. The difference meets the requirement for a mandatory, machine recount.
Can I gloat now?
No, not yet. I want 1000s of Pub lawyers to decend upon this mess of an election.
All I can say is this: Ruth Bennett better be everyone's favorite lesbian, because her Libertarian Party took about 2% of the vote, and Rossi's own studies indicate that most of it came from Chrissy (It's My Turn, Dammit!) Gregoire. Here's one to you, Ruth!

YESSSSSS!!!
does that include the new 400 they just went out and got for the dem?
Looking very good, if the liberals would have stolen it from Rossi, I would still refer to him as Governor Rossi next year. We need him to prevent the Dem controlled legislature from raising taxes.
