Calling for a do-over election (ala Ukraine) is ridiculous, damaging, and shameful.

We need to assiduously avoid to falling into the legal quagmire of endless recounts and do-overs that the Left is gaming for. For, once the Republicans jump in, how can they then legitimately refuse do-overs whenever Democrats lose close races in the future?

Of course, Democrats are going to cheat. This is because their core beliefs, if honestly communicated, will always be rejected by rational people. Thus they must constantly resort to subterfuge in order to stay in the game.

They of course have their dutiful helpers -- MSM, unions, "the world community", the courts, etc. But, having been losing ground for years, they are now foaming at the mouth with insanity.

This is why they ever more rely upon fomented election controversy, followed by "recount" (= handling the ballots) -- the tried-and-true-old-Democrat machine methods of cheating the system. And they lose some (Fla 2000) and they win some (Washington 2004).

The disruptors need society at large to acquiesce to do-over elections. This gives them one more arrow for their quiver -- but, at at time when they are LOSING THE WAR.

Turnout is the answer (as proven in Fla2000 and Ohio2004).

Thus, it's really too bad for Washington State. I wonder, how many Republicans and conservatives failed to show up in the Washington election? How many votes would this have given Mr. Rossi? We turn out, and the Democrats lose. That is the formula that works.

I would prefer that these "do-over" advocates stand down, as they have lost this round. Perhaps they can turn their efforts into increasing conservative/Republican turnout in the next election.

BTW, I in no way mean to suggest that legitimate cases of vote fraud should not be investigated.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Well stated. I've heard it put differently as well: If the Democrats stated their means and ends frankly to the American people, they would be repudiated with disgust.

We should have kept one county back to offset King County. Recall that the only way Nixon won Illinois in 1968 was to hold Lake County until Cook County reported.

RATS are scheming liars. I don't understand how any GOP operative in any election coast to coast would believe for a second that RATS will play by the rules.
