The initial lead by the R was 261. The final count was a 129 vote lead by the D. (from Wikipedia)

First, go ahead and look up global warming on Wikipedia and let me know what you find. Wikipedia is not an unbiased source of information. This is a gut wrenching experience for me that I remember vividly. On election night Dino Rosi was ahead by a couple thousand votes. Over the next few days more and more votes kept coming in from Seattle and other King County cities till his lead came down to 261. Then they had the machine recount and he was still ahead by around 40 if I remember correctly. During the “manual” recount Gregoire gained another 300 votes. The election was stolen despite the rewrite by an unknown Democrat historian posting on Wikipedia.

HUH? The difference stood at 261 prior to the first recount, regardless of the cheating that got them there.

The difference in PA, WI and MI before recounts (if they ever occur) are >10,000, regardless of how much cheating was done to get there.
