if only Kink county is counted, and those magic votes appear, what is Rossi to do?....

does he have to then fund a full recount of the entire state?

if the Rats had stacks of ballots sitting around I see this ending badly for us....

If I'm not mistaken, SoS Sam Reed said that if select counties (or just precincts) are re-counted on the Democrats' dime and they produce enough votes to overturn the current count and flip the election to Gregoire, then the state is obligated to order (at its own expense, I think) a hand recount of all counties.

So all Gregoire has to do is pay to "find" 43 or more votes in King County (any doubt they will discover something?), and there will be a hand count of the entire state, at our expense.

If another stack appears, I think that Sam Reed, the Secretary of State will have to step in. I am still wondering how 10,000 more votes were counted than were counted at the polling centers. Each polling center was responsible for counting up all the votes cast. This included the absentee votes, the provisional votes and the votes put through the electronic scanners. These numbers were recorded, the ballots collected in special bags, and the voting machines with their laser encoded memory modules zipped up in a special bag. All the bags were tie wrapped shut and transported to a special ballot collection truck. At that place, the vote tallies are recorded on a special form, the memory modules are taken out of the scanner machines and taken to download their memory into a special modem hooked to a dedicated phone line that goes direct to the King County Elections receiving computer. The main point here is that the tally of the ballots taken at each polling site has been recorded on those forms. Now how did they get a 10,000 vote addition error? My answer is that they slipped in 10,000 votes that were made up in advance, just in case they needed to turn around a Rossi victory.
