"Typical Republican Party B.S. The votes counted in December were uncounted in November because they were misplaced. Nobody ever declared them "dead in November".
To make it fair, I went to an outside source to point out the votes were previously disqualified.
"The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that at least 573 previously disqualified absentee ballots -- potentially enough to swing the state's tightest election ever for Gregoire -- can be counted. The votes are from King County, which includes Seattle and is by far the largest and most strongly Democratic county in the state." more at WAPO
My bold.
Aside from all of that, it's coincidence the Democrats stop recounting when they come out ahead.
