I thought those ballots were out until the Washington Supreme Court ruled this week. I have never heard of 320 ballots....it's a new number to me.
"I have never heard of 320 ballots....it's a new number to me."
Several other counties added hundreds of ballots. The state GOP just needed to take a hard line, and say no more ballots anywhere, no way. Once they let their guard drop (and allow Pierce County, for example, to add 433 "new" ballots), they had no precedent to stop King County from just printing up ballots until Gregoire won.
The problem is really statewide.
