But Mrs. Gregoire yesterday again rejected Republican calls for a new election, insisting that any discrepancies could be attributed to normal human error

"Normal human error" = democratic SOP

About the only thing she would have is to claim that any action taken by McKenna would be for political reasons.

I would also hope that any re-vote be conducted the way the last South Dakota senate election was handled.

The Feds should have attorneys all over King County polling places to monitor all the action and challenge unusual activities.

in King County . . . about 3,500 more votes were cast than there are registered voters.

Isn't this the biggest smoking gun of all? Assuming actual turnout is perhaps 50-60%, this means that tens of thousands of fraudulent votes were cast.

Too little too late. As usual, the Pubbies sat back and let the Dems out-legal them. They should have agreed with the Dems that the election was a crock, joined in their lawsuit and called for the new election at the time.

Now they will lose because of the necessity for maintaining the government in continuity. I predict they will be turned down by the courts on this line of reasoning.

That's good to hear, ctd. If her people find anything (anything) in the man's past, they will use it.
