Greys Harbor was really strange. They double counted votes and my figures show they lost 2240 votes when they corrected the double counted votes. After the corrections, Greys Harbor swang from Rossi's favor to Gregoire's.

Strange? How? That the corrections were in favor of Gregoire or that the errors were in favor of Rossi? My bet is that the strangeness comes from the Dem side. Usually does.

Grays Harbor double counted a LOT of votes. On tuesday, they were showing 16,507 to 16,276 for Rossi. Then it dropped to 12, 682 to 12,518 for Gregoire, a loss of about 8,000 votes. Then the final absentees brought the final total to 13,713 to 13,444.

It did switch the winner in the county, but the Rossi percentage only fell from 50.4% to 49.6%, which is not an implausible difference for double counting an area that was slightly pro-Rossi ( about 3989-3594). Just as with the "mysterious" Ohio precinct that had an extra 4,000 Bush votes, it really does seem to be a clerical error that was caught. The original GH count would have given them the highest % turnout in the state by a wide margin, so it should have been obvious that there was some error at work.
