As I recall the Florida court was made up of 6 Dems and one independent at the time. Anyone know the current makeup of the Washington court?
KING5 and NWCN have it now:

You may have to register...
You said: but on another thread, it looks like she may win the recount WITHOUT these questionable 561 votes?
You probably meant to say: but on another thread, it looks like she may STEAL the recount WITHOUT these questionable 561 votes?
No, that's okay.
Even without these newly-"discovered" votes in the mix, she could edge ahead - partly because the process is so corrupt. Our observers have caught Rossi votes going in Gregoire stacks, etc. - it's just a bad deal, this hand counting (in King County, at least).
LOL
I thought that as well but I don't think it'll stop the Dems from trying.
The Washington Supreme Court is made up of 8 D's and 1 R/Libertarian.
Pierce has reported. Spokane has not.
This is the thread that people are talking about where I said it looks like Gregoire is likely to win even without the King absentees. I'm still holding out hope that King's pseudo-manual recount conducted during the machine recount already counted most of the ballots and there won't be many additional ones picked up.
King has counted 2/3rds already, according to Carlson - and the change is Dino +15 there at this point.

check out #34. Ol WASH was the first.
The 8 D's voted unanimously to back the Republican Party and limit the recount to a recount, not a recanvassing.
If you do, send pics :-)
bump for later reading
I can't say either way, vote counts do change when recounts (honest ones) are done, usually by small numbers (but in this election, that's all it takes).
let's fact it, in an election with a initial 42 vote margin, there is going to be a recount. the methods and practices are at issue - and clearly, those criteria for the 561 votes were way out of bounds - too much uncertainty, opportunity for fraud, etc.
let's see what happens: if in the end, this ruling is overturned and these 561 (or 573) are allowed and they are the margin of victory - then its a stolen election as far as I am concerned. But if this ruling holds up, and she wins without those 561, and there is no evidence to show that there was tampering with the straight recount - then its over.
...
God forbid!
well, what are the observers saying when that happens?
