Hope this holds.

I just can't keep track of this anymore.

but on another thread, it looks like she may win the recount WITHOUT these questionable 561 votes?

[pissant]

It pays to judge shop. The Dems do it. Apparently, so do the pubbies.

[HostileTerritory]

Link please. I can't find this on the NYT's AP wire link which usually covers all AP stories.

It about time someone put a stop to ballots that 'magically' appear for the Democrats when they need them.

[mainepatsfan]

So where do the Dems go to appeal this ruling? The state Supreme Court?

[konaice]

Which Ballots, The ABc Ballots or the 500+ ballots or the 20+ ballots?

[Paul_Denton]

Good news. I hope this holds.

Do you have a link for this?

As of 3:20 pm (Pacific Time), with 37 out of 39 counties reporting, Rossi is up 43 votes (he is plus one in the manual recount compared to the machine recount and he had a 42 vote lead after machine recount).

King County and Pierce County still to report. Together, they represent about 40% of total vote.

Here's the Wash Sec. of State page:

[sionnsar]

Is that the title AP used?

The PI said that Stephanie Arend was the judge hearing the case in Pierce Superior Court. I know Arend and my opinion of her is that she is a borderline idiot and ethics aren't high on her list of important attributes. I am shocked that she ruled this way as she comes out of the firm of Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell, the most political firm in Pierce County and with strong ties to Democrats, including Governor Gary "Tax Hike" Locke. Among the attorneys at GTH is Locke's former chief of staff.

Anyway, I'll give credit where credit is due and be glad that Arend got one right.

Now the Rats will be whining for years about how the Republicans stole another election. Never mind that the Rats keep "finding" ballots long after election day. If the Rats can't successfully steal an election they should at least STFU when their crude attempts fail.

[MissouriConservative]

bump for later reading

[AmericaUnited]

An earlier story did say a judge would rule on the injunction request this afternoon.

YAHOO!!!!!

[Drango]

From reading state law and state Supreme Court decisions, "it is clear to me that it is not appropriate to go back and revisit decisions on whether ballots should or should not be counted,

Well what the law says and what is clear, don't matter at this stage. It's all political muscle now. Sad.
