So what you KNOW is that the late-counted votes broke a little heavier for Gregoire than the original machine-counted votes.

What you THINK is that there was some sort of collusion, base on evidence no firmer than your recollection of some isolated experiences in the area. No offense, but that doesn't sound like an awfully convincing argument of malfeasance.

Well, I do know this. Everybody thinks Washington is one of those nice clean, honest decent places, politically speaking, not like those 'icky' places like Illinois or Texas. That makes it a lot easier to get away with stuff, because everybody thinks you couldn't have done it.

Also, a quick analysis of the extra votes found in the manual recount shows that the higher the number of votes to be counted, the closer the break of the extra votes tends to be to the original count (which we would expect, as the population of votes to be counted enlarges, and statistical anomalies are minimized).

That is, until we get to the biggest cities in the state, which are hard left Democrat, and have broken with the previous percentages widely. Just wait until Pierce County (Tacoma, a crime-ridden, corrupt city if there ever was one) comes in. That county went 46.8 percent for Gregoire, and 50.8 percent for Rossi, but the breakdown of the "new" votes will be at least 60-40, and it wouldn't surprise me if it were 70-30. That sets the stage for King County to come in with a higher percentage of Gregoire votes than in the machine counts, because, hey, it happened other places, too! And I've spent significant time in each of these corrupt cities, so I'm quite familiar with the mentalities found in government there. There really are two Washingtons, the inner city one, and the suburban/rural one. It's my hope that there will be enough suspicion of the way this was handled to cause Democrat voters in the burbs and the sticks to reconsider going on Rat-autovote next election.

It's also my hope that Washington will find a better way to count votes in future elections. And as for having a dog in this fight, in two weeks, I'm moving to Utah. I'd just like to see some justice done for my family members and friends that I leave behind, some of which did vote for Gregoire.
