I agree with you and Ralph Munro that a new (tightly controlled) gubernatorial election is necessary.

BTW, Is there any truth to the report (I forget where I heard it) that some 75,000 WA state voters who voted for a Presidential candidate, did NOT vote for a Governor? If this is true, how will this likely affect a new gubernatorial election?

Giving us another vote gives the democriminals another chance to get their vote fraud act together so as to keep their dealings much more secret.

I'm not sure this is a good idea.

Perhaps we should just have the *election supervisors* be forced to stick to a fair set of rules and laws.

This definitely needs intervention from a higher, less prejudiced authority than the King County election officials.

Rossi would win by a landslide! Christine is a thief!

King County Election Officials Certify Gregoire Votes.

I think an EcoChallenge type competition is in order with the finishing leg to be a hike/climb up Mt. Rainier and snowboard down. First one back to the main park headquarters office parking lot wins. ;)

That wouldn't work. Chopper 7, having beat the nasal mucous out of King 5, would be standing by to airlift their Queen to the "finish line."

Okay, let's all take a deep breath before proceeding.

"Why in the hell would anyone vote for a group that cannot run a simple, free, open, untroubled election?"

Because the democrat voters in King County and most of Western Washington outnumber (and oppress daily) the Republican voters.

The federal government will be called in to combat this fraud.

I'd like that to be the case. Sources?

I was afraid people would get tired of the pings, but 7 FReepers have asked to be added to the list in the last couple of days!

I really appreciate the pings because this is all moving so quickly, new news every few minutes at times, and it's difficult to keep track of whazzup. The dems are like vipers and cobras, lying in stealth, then slithering into position from behind the rocks. They either leap out and strike quickly or position themselves to strangle the life out of Dino's governorship.

Where's the snake patrol when we need it!

The Puget Sound Chapter message board (thank you, Jim and John Robinson, et al!!!) has been a big help also.

In my heart I believe Rossi won by thousands more votes than the 261 he actually got credit for; that the closeness was merely a symptom of how effective the dems were at vote fraud up till November 2 at 8 PM.

I have this sense of the dems who control the vote fraud in this state sweating bullets till the final numbers were in, saying over and over, "But did we get enough votes to pull this off?"

Then, of course, it was, "Can't believe we messed up. Now, how to we reverse this?"

Pick up the phone and start dialing. That's how things happen.

I spoke to the Rossi campaign today and they said federal election observers had been called in but couldn't elaborate.

More pressure is needed.

The most critical thing is that NO ADDITIONAL ballots should be entered into the mix at this point. Dems win when they are allowed to keep counting. They mustn't be allowed to keep counting!

John Carlson corrected that on his show this afternoon. In fact, the Kirkland Councilwoman who initially brought the issue up was on his show to correct it.

The person did actually fill in all of the ovals AND then wrote in all the names, except that they wrote in Christine Rossi. They felt that since the voter had filled in Gregoire's oval, the intent was that they wanted to vote for her. IMHO, it was an overvote and that vote (and all of the others) should not count.
