On Thursday, the day after King County released a list of nearly 900,000 voters who cast ballots Nov. 2, Republicans demanded to know why the list appeared to have about 3,500 fewer names than the number of tallied votes.

Election officials in the state's largest county — a Democratic stronghold — replied that the list was preliminary, noting that records of voters who cast certain write-in ballots and people who wanted their addresses kept confidential still had to be reconciled with election data.

Gregoire congratulated Rossi for running a strong campaign, and said it was up to him to decide when and where to concede. But she ruled out a brand new election.

"Do-overs" only occur in golf, and only during practice, she said. "This is not golf and this is not practice."

A legal challenge would have to be filed by Jan. 22, 10 days after Gregoire's scheduled inauguration.

It's called GOLF because all the really good four-letter words have already been taken.

Do-overs occur whenever Bill Clinton plays golf. And, of course, when Democrats lose elections.

Nice catch.

Do-over. Am I correct in recalling that the WA vote was counted three times? Basically doing it over and over again until the democrat won?

Do as I say and not as I do. What a great way to lead by example.
