To me, it seems that he is taking a cue from Gore.
Rossi should take a cue from Gore? Gore sued until the lights went out, and has been trash-talking ever since.
Another disenfranchised voter
Reader Kevin DeGraaf of Sammamish posted a comment earlier telling us what he discovered when he looked himself up in the Seattle Times database of King County voters:
According to this database, they have me listed in the wrong precinct, and said I didn't vote. They have my wife just fine, and we both received absentee ballots and voted together. I voted for Dino Rossi, and now I wonder if they even counted my vote.No, they didn't count his vote. The verifiable elements of Kevin's story check out: He and his wife, Evangeline, live at 20526 22nd Ct in Sammamish 98074. Evangeline is registered there and her absentee ballot was counted.
But Kevin is recorded as not having voted. It turns out that he is registered on W Galer St in Seattle 98199. The King County database shows that he has not voted since November 1992. Kevin responds:
The address is more than 10 years old, which is strange, since I got my absentee ballot, and have voted non-absentee with my address and information apparently correct and up to date. I'll be contacting the Dino Rossi campaign about this.I have no way to confirm that he did vote all these years even though the King County database says otherwise. But I've seen enough errors in the county records to believe readers like Kevin before I believe the county.
...
I have voted in every major election since 1992 (I might have missed some minor ones), until maybe 5 years ago, I voted in person at the local precinct without any apparent problem. I have been receiving absentee ballots along with my wife since then, so I presumed my registration info was accurate.
Larry Phillips might not help a Sammamish voter, but I know the Rossi campaign will.
If you have a similar story of King County Elections incompetence and disenfranchisement, please drop us a line. More importantly, tell the Rossi campaign. Help them help you overturn this filthy election.

Hmmm, I seem to remember that there used to be a newspaper by that name.
Awful commie-lovin thing.
I wonder whatever became of them?
That was then. Could it be there's more principle in the other Washington?
He leaves out that Gore went on well past any hope of legally winning. The only options he didn't pursue were convincing Republican Electors to vote for him, or a Republican Congress to vote for him.
Washington state has no Electoral College...so this can go on and on.
Why would Rossi want to disenfranchise military voters?
This guys memory is different from mine, I seem to remember Gore conceded then he unconceded, then he wnet to court , the we recounted a few times then Gore made his concession speech, then he went right out and started attacking President Bush..
At least in Florida they counted SOME of the military votes In Washington state they threw out the whole batch.
At least in Florida they picked through chads they didnt make up votes out of wholoe cloth.
In Florida they didnt have 3500 more people vote than were registered.
Washington state has participated in voter fraud and they flaunt it, A federal investigation is warranted.
The only valid parallel to the Gore case is that Gregoire and the WA state 'Rats were able to pull off what Gore wanted to do in FL, keep counting until they got the result they wanted, then quit.
The 'Rats were similarly successful in '84 with the 8th Congressional District seat in Indiana. The 'Rats know that if they do this kind of theft at the state or local level, and especially when they control the vote-counting apparatus, they can "win" close elections (via fraud). They couldn't do it in FL because of some courageous local people who took to the streets, and the USSC who put an end to the fraudulent recount.
These latter two points are the ones Rossi should learn from the Gore case.
