How about three counts out of five?

As many counts as you like, so long as the loser pays for them.

Thanks for the offer, I'll be forwarding several hundred washington state ballots I found in the trunk of my car last night....haven't a clue how they got there but I'm sure the state court will be OK with chain of custody.

Really MurryMom? Who's going to pay for all of this?

"Since Gregoire took office, the courts have ordered agencies represented by her office to pay nearly $500,000 for failing to turn over public records.

The largest case involved the Department of Health and Human Services' withholding of key documents from attorneys suing on behalf of boys abused at the OK Boys Ranch. Singling out a former department head and a senior attorney in Gregoire's office, a judge hammered the state for $417,500 in 1998.

Gregoire's office also was tagged for $33,000 in fines and fees in 1998 for not giving public documents to the Evergreen Freedom Foundation.

This past June, Gregoire and her private lawyers were sanctioned and reprimanded by a federal judge in Seattle for repeatedly failing to turn over documents in a lawsuit against the Attorney General's Office by a former assistant attorney general who claimed she had been wrongly blamed and fired for missing a deadline in an appeal, for which the state paid nearly $19 million."
