Jessie Jackson will be all over this...What? Jimmy Carter wants first crack?

[Former Military Chick]

Excellent idea they need to document all of this and then put it together and shown the year before the next election. The voters should know about this.

And the Democrats defend illegitimate governor Christine Grigoire? Now there's a surprise! Whatever happened to making every vote count and election reform? If a Democrat can win through cheating and stealing, that's the high art of democracy at work. If a Republican wins an undisputed victory in a fair election by MORE than the margin of error, that's evidence of vote rigging and electoral chicanery. The GOP should do everything it can to make sure the people of Washington State know Grigoire didn't deserve to be their governor because her party broke the law to get her in the state's top job.

Democrats respond that while the election was close, it's over and Gregoire is the legitimate governor. They argue the proper place for an election challenge is in the Legislature, not the courts.

Oh...now they want the legislature to decide? Wish they would make up their hypocritical minds.

Local Dems do not realize that as more and more states computerize their records, it becomes easier and easier for an investigator to correlate the data bases. The days of hiding illegal votes in a huge sea of voters, assuming no one has the time and resources to cross check are over. If the GOP is smart, have data base experts on standby to challenge many Dem districts. I think it would be interesting to see how big of a margin does illegal voters play in the Democrat election strategy. Preliminary cross checks between NY and FL data bases already has yielded several hundred Dem voters who registered to vote in NY and FL, and many of the NY voters requested for an absentee ballot to cast a ballot in NY and personally voted in FL for the national elections (IOW voted twice). They assumed no one would cross check the records. Many of them are elderly and once caught they claim senility.

Washington will have to have a re-vote. Rossi won this election hands down, but in the special election I predict that the dem will win primarily because the 3rd party candidate won't generate the same amount of votes as in the first go round.

[Echo Talon]

Ohhh... Poor Republicans... Well, time to get up in arms about voter fraud, I guess... ZOT!

[Angry Republican]

ZOT!
