Rossi Makes Slick Move

Her answer will include the following phrases:

1. "The people have already spoken;"
2. "We counted ALL the votes;"
3. "The law doesn't allow revotes until the Republicans get what they want;"
4. "This is a ploy/delaying tactic designed to deny the people of Washington the Governor they voted for."

Expect it. Aggravating as it may be.

Stefan Sharkansky of soundpolitics.com has received the voter list from King County - which shows the names of 895,660 voters... unfortunately, King County has recorded a total of 899,199 votes in the certified hand recount results

If she refuses to revote, she's got some splainin' to do...

I don't know where SCR got his numbers from, but if the number of registered voters is is less than the number of votes, it is obviously a fraudulent election and even the most Kool-Aid drenched Democrat judge wouldn't let it stand. The example of Philadelphia is a bit tainted because it compares the numbers of votes to census and doesn't take into account moves of people (which can be accounted for by housing projects going up or down). Philly has an unreasonably high number of voters, but it isn't as obvious as (# of registered voters)<(# of votes).

Calling for a do-over election (ala Ukraine) is ridiculous, damaging, and shameful.

We need to assiduously avoid to falling into the legal quagmire of endless recounts and do-overs that the Left is gaming for. For, once the Republicans jump in, how can they then legitimately refuse do-overs whenever Democrats lose close races in the future?

Of course, Democrats are going to cheat. This is because their core beliefs, if honestly communicated, will always be rejected by rational people. Thus they must constantly resort to subterfuge in order to stay in the game.

They of course have their dutiful helpers -- MSM, unions, "the world community", the courts, etc. But, having been losing ground for years, they are now foaming at the mouth with insanity.

This is why they ever more rely upon fomented election controversy, followed by "recount" (= handling the ballots) -- the tried-and-true-old-Democrat machine methods of cheating the system. And they lose some (Fla 2000) and they win some (Washington 2004).

The disruptors need society at large to acquiesce to do-over elections. This gives them one more arrow for their quiver -- but, at at time when they are LOSING THE WAR.

Turnout is the answer (as proven in Fla2000 and Ohio2004).

Thus, it's really too bad for Washington State. I wonder, how many Republicans and conservatives failed to show up in the Washington election? How many votes would this have given Mr. Rossi? We turn out, and the Democrats lose. That is the formula that works.

I would prefer that these "do-over" advocates stand down, as they have lost this round. Perhaps they can turn their efforts into increasing conservative/Republican turnout in the next election.

BTW, I in no way mean to suggest that legitimate cases of vote fraud should not be investigated.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Unfortunately Gregoire will never agree to such a request. King County will drag their feet in responding to Republicans concerns, meanwhile Gregoire will be certified as governor tomorrow.

The dems are thinking if we can just drag, stall them long enough, everyone will give up and accept Gregoire as governor. If they get away with this, we have lost this state for good.

Just because KC media sweeps it under the rug does not mean all the state wide media will. They are preaching to the choir in KC. The fools will always see Rossi as foolish.

[Neil Stevens]

I like that. He's not whining, he's showing respect for the law.

Republicans don't (well, shouldn't) just beg for courts to re-write laws when things don't go their way. Republicans look to the legislature and legimate political process, and that's what Rossi did.

Well done.

[4woodenboats]

Sorry, no white flags here. Hey, how's Governor Davis, anyway?

[4woodenboats]

That link goes straight to a King5 story, video, and A POLL AND MESSAGE BOARD THAT NEEDS TO BE FREEPED!!!

[Splatter]

What makes you think a (as hypoCrisy Gregoire says) "virtual tie" means we have lost this state for good? I believe this election means we are headed in the right direction. Were you here during the 80's?

[Revolutionary]

Because there are so many absentee voters in Washington, if the Republicans can't come up with several thousand fraudulent democrat voters, they are doing something wrong. They should be running a major fraud war room right now. Meanwhile keep hitting the favorable political items (2 out of 3, rule changes, and not counting military votes).

Fraud is where it is at. Do an extremely thorough job of finding every fraudulent vote, not just enough to win. Expose the democrats for what they are.

I would prefer it if ex-Gov Dufus were a tourist attraction at Alcatraz or The Crazy House at SF Pier 39, but he'll most likely turn up like a herpes sore (ala Bill Clinton) for many years to come. At least we managed to send him packing.

BTW, by all means, fight the good fight, with my blessings!

[KoRn]

If I were him I would bow out and run at Can'twell in 06.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

BTW, that was a constitutionally provided recall election. Not a Ukranian-style "do-over". BIG difference.

[Steel and Fire and Stone]

She won't agree. She's stolen the election. The Democrats hold all the cards, except of course, where the Constitution or law is concerned, which is irrelevant to Democrats.

Dems stole the election "fair and square". Too bad, it's over.

recorded a total of 899,199 votes

Couldn't the KC dems have mined ONE more vote? I just HATE odd voting totals.

[hattend]

Funny, I first read this as asking for a "statewide revolt"

Either would be acceptable, I guess

Well, hey, as long as your due diligence qualifies you to rate the legitimacy of our support for our candidate....

Thanks for the ping!
