King County's manual recount is not yet in I believe but in any case the democrats say they found 22+ more ballots and they will problably find more as need be.
It's a horror. Pray it is finished soon.

But the hand recount isn't over yet, and what's left went for Grgoire, so she's expected to pick up votes there. Rossi's margin will probably be under 100 before they even get to the 573 disputed ballots.

Well, In order to prevail, if Dino is up by 121, te Rats would have to steal 80% of those 573Wouldn't they only have to steal 60.6% of the vote?
573 + 121 = 694 -- 694/2 = 347 for 50% of the vote.
347 - 121 = 226 needed for Rossi to get 50% of the vote.
347/573 = 60.55% for a tie or the Rats would need only 60.7% or 348 votes of the 573 to win.
I think that's right... Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong!

... he would have to steal 80% of those 573.Is this some kind of public school math? By my calculations, slightly less than 61% would do it.
