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.

Well, if we can gain some political ground here in California, maybe the rest of the "red" Union will want to keep us too.

I think they should have a Star Trek Pon Farr battle. Complete with music. Now, what kind of language is that, for an Amish dude?

benton county ended up reporting with 665 -- not 750, not 250.
SoS website had Ballot count go from 66937 to 67687 --- Am I missing sumething? Looks like exactly 750 added in Benton to me.
Looks like you're counting ballots and I was counting votes. Might mean that only 665 of the 750 counted?

AmishDude, I am beginning to think you need a vacation...

Come on. No one actually dies. They appear to because somebody slips one of the participants some knockout drops.

Oh geez, now the 'reporters' (my guess they're Dems) are saying, while a recount has never changed the outcome of an election in WA state, this ones so close it could be the 1st.
Some guy is on talking about potential double-counting and the reporterette says, Gov Gary Locke (D) has been saying the same thing. Except they won't admit that the Dims are usually the ones doing the double-counting.
To: Libertina
I don't need a vacation.
I'm always this way.

Can't you just feel that they WANT that??? I'm watching NWCN, and it sounds like they're just hoping it changes.

Yes! I'm watching the same thing.
