Agreed. This is a sad day in Washington state.
UPDATE: A friend who's been observing the King County ballot counting e-mails:
We wrapped up at King County's MBOS facility at about 9:00 pm, after a day of duplicating provisional ballots. I should mention that the King County Elections workers and supervisors have gone out of their way to accommodate the large number of Republican observers.
King County expects to tabulate around 1450 ballots tomorrow. Included in this number are the 600+ affidavit ballots, of which we can assume an overwhelming proportion will be for Gregoire. (However, a surprising number of provisional ballots have been straight Democrat, with the exception of the governor's race. In addition, many provisional voters failed to vote for governor. I do not expect that all 600+ ballots will be for Gregoire.) Of the remaining 800 or so ballots, our survey ran as follows:
Rossi: 127, or 36%
Gregoire: 190, or 54%
Other: 33, or 9%
Head to head, Rossi's share is 40% to Gregoire's 60%.
So of the remaining 1450 (?) ballots from King County, I speculate that Gregoire will capture 1000 votes, and Rossi will capture 300. I hope I am wrong.
