KOMO-TV ^ | 20 December 2004 | George Howell

[Publius]

The Washington Supreme Court hears arguments today on this issue.

[Publius]

Ping.

What time..and will they be broadcast?

[Publius]

I don't know. There are cable TV services in Washington, such as NWCN and TVW, that might broadcast this. I'm cubicle-bound so I'll be in the dark until one of regular news outlets goes public with it.

"The fact that I've been disenfranchised because of a clerical error is astounding and very, very scary" he said. "It could happen to anybody!"

head on down to the polls on election day like everyone used to do will avoid situations like this.

"The candidates in particular need to stop the games, stop the rhetoric, get the lawsuits over with, count every legitimate ballot, and live by the result," she said.

Why would ANYONE vote for this hypocrite?

[irishtenor]

***Gregoire came out Sunday, accusing the Rossi campaign of creating wild accusations to prevent hundreds votes from being counted.

"The candidates in particular need to stop the games, stop the rhetoric, get the lawsuits over with, count every legitimate ballot, and live by the result," she said.***

I would agree with her...accept she isn't counting HER games, rhetoric, lawsuits, etc. Every legitimate ballot has been counted, TWICE. I do not consider those ballots "found" after the election was over and certified as being legitimate.

What is the chain of custody on each of these disputed ballots? Can the dems prove that the ballots were not created after the election? If the dems miraculously "win" this election based upon found ballots, the GOP needs to assure that there are sufficient demonstrators to shut the government down until democracy is restored. They might try wearing orange like the opposition in the Ukraine.

[Publius]

Why would ANYONE vote for this hypocrite?

Because she's a Democrat. That's the only reason people voted for her, and she ran far behind Kerry and Murray.

[WASH]

Is the hearing Today or Tuesday?

[llevrok]

whether they add in the "found" votes or not, Gregoire will win. Simple mathematics. Not to mention "King Co. mathematics".

[Publius]

Today.

[agere_contra]

You mean Rossi.

[SmithL]

Dino has extended his lead with everyone reporting EXCEPT for King County.

Actually, the Supreme Court of WA will hear this on WEDNESDAY at 9:30am......

[bushisdamanin04]

Dang, I saw Gregoire's name and I thought for a second that she was writing a $19,000,000 check to reimburse the taxpayers of Washington for her gross negligence. Oh well.

[xzins]

I would like to see the randomness of these voter names in terms of signature rolls.

What is the % of these alleged ballots that end up being DEMOCRAT votes that also just happen to be at the end of the rolls?

[geedee]

I do not consider those ballots "found" after the election was over and certified as being legitimate.

But the UNBIASED reporter goes out of his way two or three times to subtly call them "mistakenly" rejected ballots. We know the members of the media never lie or stretch the truth . . . right?
