It was close enough in Washington State, for our Governor's election in 2004, for the rats to steal it. Admittedly, however, the "first" final count (before the hand recount)was closer than this.
How, EXACTLY, did that go down? I heard, Election Night, that the Republican had won, then I heard there were to be recounts. Finally, several days later, I heard the Democrat had won! No explanation as to what had happened---nothing. I was stunned.
