The original differintial for Kitsap is on the chart if you look at the difference between the original totals for the county.
There was a deadline for counting votes - why don't we use it? Votes arriving or found after that date don't count. If the counties are so sloppy they lose votes, how can I feel confident that some of those votes haven't been manufactured?
My basic feeling is...
the voter should fill the ballot out correctly - if they can't do that and there is any question, then the vote doesn't count. If it can't be read by the machine, it doesn't count. No trying to guess intention.
the elections department needs to have procedures that account for the flow and accounting of ballots so they don't get 'lost or misplaced'. Given FL 2000 I'd think any elections official who didn't review their policies and procedures with an eye to prevent the appearance of impropriety didn't do their job.
I don't mind something that appears fair. And I would ask for a hand recount if Rossi were trailing by 42. But this appears to be a changing the rules after the fact kind of thing by counting newly found votes.
King Co. must have destroyed Kitsap Co. in a hostile aggression. Media not reporting this. State site pretending Kitsap Co. never existed (by excluding from recount results).
Dem b@st@rds!
Bingo. A private, impartial firm should be doing this. No political party reps, from any party, should be touching those ballots.
Gregoire should step aside. She lost the count and the recount.
Numerous sources report unofficial results from Kitsap. See here, for instance.
Thank the people who moved from Portland area to Clark County, Multnomah county has lost 11,000 republicans and where did they go... Clark County and other palces in Washington
My fringe radical neighbor left work for the day... rather abruptly. I wonder if a Red Electroid in the Pacific Northwest is just too much for the Blue Meanies to handle after the Presidential outcome?
Rossi wins 1,372,484 to 1,372,442. Phew.
You'll shortly be seeing a moving van is his driveway... with a sign that says "LA OR BUST!"
Well, perhaps we know where we might move next. Vancouver looks more and more like Bellevue these days. SE Portland is a bit segregated... politically speaking. I'm pretty sure, Republicans aren't allowed to use public restrooms, and must ride in the back of the bus.
There's a slogan for Canada: "BC... the OTHER Vancouver."
... no Apple-maggots, but Street-maggots are welcome.
They know who the voters are. The NCGOP asked that those voters cast their ballots again. Sorry, I left that out.
like if that will happen
