Actually the accuracy issue received attention but it's coded into law that a narrow victory (Rossi's) can be followed up with a hand recount. This points to another problem in Washington State, that laws are often written by people that either don't have a clue or else know how to write election laws that helps election thieves.

Another thing is that it wasn't actually a hand recount or even a machine recount in the sense of 'recount' as a retabulation of returns. It was actually a recount with additional 'recanvassing'. I learned what that word means this election. It means go out and find more votes. Again the law allows for it if it can be shown that previously uncounted votes were excluded by mistake. Again the law was written by the clueless or those who were bent on helping election thieves.

I have seen many other strange laws in Washington State, many of which are passed at midnight when no one is paying attention and which clearly benefit liberal union interests.

The election laws were made to assist election thieves... by experts.

If the Feds were not investigating what's going on, they'd say so. When they neither confirm nor deny, that means that they are in fact investigating.

Yeah those felons have a real history of voting Republican. That's why the NAACP conducts voter registration drives in prisons.

Hilarious. In 2000, liberals insisted that if that small number of "disenfranchised felons" had gotten to vote, Gore would've won, because as we all know, 85% of all felons vote Democrat.

But now, in Washington, felons are just as Republican as the county they live in.

Beyond. Parody.

Why do recounts always give more votes to democrats, in places where democrats run the counting? Is it just coincidence?

The Bush verses Gore election in Florida was a perfect example of fraud and ballot box stuffing. When they did the first machine recount Gore picked up several thousand votes. In a pool of millions of voters this can not happen. The errors on each side will cancel each other out in an honest recount. The difference should have been in the low hundreds or less. The second count in Florida was fraudulent. Ballot boxes were stuffed but as luck would have it not enough were stuffed. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A CRIME SYDNICATE.

Oh, okay. The Dim's recounted again, and have determined that they won. Let's go home and watch Gilligan's Isleand re-runs.

Thanks. That's the best news I've heard yet. I'm still going to be a cynic and hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

These people doing the counting must have failed basic algebra since they set forth that 1+1=3

In this particular case...its a win-win situation for the Demos. If the governor is tossed out...they have to run another race, and they basically repeat the entire process again. They learned alot of things about how to hide issues...and they will improve upon the entire situation. The interesting difference for the next election, should King County repeat the whole fiasco...is that Eastern Washington...might just decide its finally time to get serious about splitting the state into two states, and create two new senators. They can do it...if they can carry enough votes, and my guess is that the anger in the state will be sky-high if a King county episode comes again.

But they're using New Math, which is why their answers have no bearing on reality.

..Its "The Million Man March" Math, by Louis ("Calypso Louie") Farrakhan...Liberal Dogma swears by it.

Slots, the Dems have math issues too. You sure you're not a Dem?

Of course the Republicans went to Democratic districts to find the names of felons who voted illegally. As Willie Sutton said when asked why he holds up banks,"Because that's where the money is".

Democratic spokeswoman Amanda Fuchs said the party's analysis was done by "people at Democratic headquarters" and had not been reviewed by the party's two statistical experts.

Then why the is this analysis worth being a headline!?!

No matter how ludicrous Locke may be and how innacurate Dem math always is, I still believe that the Dims have been spending these months figuring out how to win a recount decisively. Not honestly, decisively.
