Washington State Republican Party leaders say they've found 8400 more ballots cast than the number of voters registered in the state's five largest counties. State GOP Chairman Chris Vance says the mismatching numbers in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Clark and Kitsap are troubling.

Republican Dino Rossi won the first two counts in the governor's race, then lost a hand recount to Democrat Christine Gregoire by a mere 129 votes. Republicans are mulling a possible legal challenge to the election, and Vance says discrepancies like the ones they found so far are clear indications that things went wrong. County auditors have said it typically takes a while for election results to be reconciled with voter registration records.

I am so shocked. Really truly amazed. </sarcasm

PLEASE go forward with this fight, Pubbies!!

[Don Corleone]

This is WAAAAARRRRR!

[pointsal]

What do you expect........crooked as a dog's hind leg.

[cmsgop]

Some on this board say we should give it up?

Can you believe that?

Mulling? To hell with mulling! The first step is to throw down the gauntlet and DEMAND that the cheating and fraud be immediately exposed.

[Coop]

Can you believe that? Can you believe that?

No. Even if the fight ultimately doesn't pay off, perhaps the publicity will harm the Dems and make 'em think twice. :-{

[cmsgop]

You have it Exactly Right,Thank You Coop!

let's start a pool to guess the first MSM to report this...after all, they gave us endless stories about the demands for recounts in Ohio and Nevada, right?

[Nesher]

Most of the 8,400 votes probably came from dead people, illegal immigrants and cartoon characters, pretty much the only people the Democrats can get to vote for them these days.

Not only go forward, but at some point a massive criminal investigation needs to be instigated.

[NorCalRepub]

I'm with you on that....if the Dems could answer all these questions I would almost be ready to move on....but when 'count all votes' turns into massive fraud then we should never never never give up the fight and expose ALL that fraud. I even admit that is the past the Republicans have tried to suppress the vote mainly in the south and we should admit it and move on. But that hasn't happened in a long long time but the voter fraud is still rampant in the Dem party......this just makes them in my eyes even more pathetic cowardly cheats who whine and wail over superficial crap but never ever address the real issue at hand

How long? Approximately one governor's term?

Keith Olberman. (NOT!)

[connectthedots]

Commit one crime and you have to keep committing more and more to attempt to hide the earlier crimes. At some point, it becomes untenable; just like Watergate.

[Migraine]

Not only go forward, but at some point a massive criminal investigation needs to be instigated.

You mean the democracks didn't steal it fair and square?

[connectthedots]

Need to start recall efforts against these county auditors. How can they certify elections without reconciling discrepencies. It's called malfeasance.

.."some say we should give up?"

bunch of Trolls or Rinos
this is a fight that potentially is winnable and if not he may be able to grab the next statewide office on pure feelings that he got the shaft

[Enterprise]

Well, we can certainly argue that they stole it fair and square, as they have done so many times in the past. But, I will be a curmudgeon here, and insist that if it can be proven, that they also do the time.
