I am a true cynic when it comes to democrats finding the 'wiggle' they need to hold onto their power. I am betting this goes to the Federal Courts via Bush-Gore provisions.

Of course that happens if the state supreme court sides with Gregoire. Here are some wiggle points.

1. Felons registering or voting but can only be contested before election.
2. Chelan County Court wrong in denying venue to legislature.
3. No constitutional provision for a revote.

etc.

I'm thinking they need to get this to the federal courts asap for a ruling. But any insights into real picture of state supreme behavior is much appreciated. I would love to be wrong.

The state supreme court will be unanimous in ordering a re-vote. No way to avoid it given the public scrutiny the case is getting. when the public is watching, it is much harder to ignore the law.

Question: What is your opinion of the WSSC ruling that overturned the Superior Court ruling?

Do you think it was pure application of law, or was it a exercise in wiggling (as I do)?

(I think the case-law they relied on was ambiguous enough to have comfortably been determined in either direction)
