Maria Cant(do)well was elected in 2000. This very close race was overshadowed by the Gore-Bush election contest in Florida. What is interesting about the Gorton-Cant(do)well race is that as the absentee ballots were being tallied from around the State of Washington, Gorton lead in the count. It was not until King (Ukraine) County finished with their count (which also came in at the last minute after all the other counties has finished their count)that a 2,229 vote win was delivered to defeat incumbent Slate Gorton. This put the margin of victory well within the numbers to prevent an automatic machine recount.

That same scam is done in California, Oregon, Mo, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Magically the winning votes are counted late and found in the rat cities of those states after all other votes are counted.
