This is a LIVE THREAD for discussion of the impending certification of final results in the Washington State Governor's race, between Dino Rossi (R) and Christine Gregoire (D).
The Secretary of State is required to certify the final results this evening. As of 4:28 P.M. PST, Gregoire leads by 29 votes with 2521 votes from 4 or 5 counties left to be reported. King County (the Dem's stronghold) has apparently made its final report.
Washington State law requires a machine recount if the certified results show a difference of less than 2000, which now seems almost certain. It also requires a manual recount if the difference is less than 150 votes. A machine recount is estimated to take a week, a hand recount a month or more.
If the final result were a tie, the winner would be decided by lot.

Fox News reported that the Democrats went around to voters known to be Dems, had them sign affidavits about getting their ballots counted; a judge ruled they could be counted and were. The Dems were not going to try to get any questionable ballots counted. The 400-odd ballots were all Dem voters.

I wonder if Gary Locke will complete a new tour before the recounting and court challenges are over.
To: Seattle Conservative
Yep, I'm listening. Sam Reed just said he thinks the hand recount will not be necessary, meaning Rossi will win by more than 150 votes.
We will know soon enough!

Then we don't deserve to win, do we?

According to the local paper, they knocked on doors and asked who the person voted for. If they said "Rossi," the person thanked them and left.

No, the pubbies went to a pubbie county and asked for the same thing. A new Dem hack judge said no. Insta-court challenge.

Sec of State Sam Reed is on the radio saying he doesn't think any mischief has happened in the last three days.
Career politicians are the herpes of our political body.

Actually, The Republicans did - in fact, they did it in Yakima County, too, and the judge there said the votes don't count - Florida style court case is gonna result from that.
