I smell fraud in this race. I have CNN screen capture with these results:
Washington Governor
Updated: 2:00 p.m. ET
Republican Rossi
917,207 49%
99% of precincts reporting
Democratic Gregoire
916,143 49%
An extra 1% provided a huge reversal for the democrat.
Impossible.
No, it's not fraud. It's Seattle. You know, the place that gives Baghdad Jim McDermott 80% of the vote every time. That's the horrible thing about Washington. They don't NEED to do fraud. The voters here are really that wacko - they're insane eco-nazi-socialists.
The precincts had all reported when the numbers looked so good..... but not counted in the precinct count are the absentees. Something like 150,000 absentees to count during this next week, and they might be all over the board.
An awful lot of voting here is by absentee -- I think LibreOuMort said something like 50%.
