Vote Recount for Washington Governor Tips to Democrat

[Theodore R.]

Election fraud is often accepted by the public once the false "winner" is installed. People tend to rally around incumbents regardless of the circumstances of their election.

[SkyPilot]

But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.

Galatians 3:22-24

I caught this last night on c-span and clearly, a third recount of REJECTED BALLOTS is illegal!!!!

GIVE ME A BREAK.

[floriduh voter]

Stalin said something about counting all the votes, valid and invalid and an actor in Key Largo the movie said the same thing. You keep counting until you win. TAKE A LOOK AT FLORIDA. They are using Al Gore's playbook on how to steal an election and the Washington Supremes are happy to allow rejected ballots in. It makes me sick.

[firebrand]

And finding batch after batch of unsecured absentee ballots after the election is over.

You need to get rid of that piece of junk and get a good browser.
I use Netscape, and I have very few problems.
Verizon includes IE6 and MSN software with it's ISP package, I refuse to use it.

[concretebob]

I am not going to state the obvious.
MEEK, stop me.

My fingers are trembling...this is tooooo easy....noooooo...don't type that, don't you do it, yong man, don't you dare, I'm gonna pop you one, you stop that right now.....

Christine Gregoire, as A.G. for the State of Washington, was a joke.

Here's a decision made by Gregoire as Washington AG, back in 1996:

"Challenge of Ballots Not Allowed."
-"We are advised by the Attorney General that state law makes no provision for the challenge of ballots or voters (as provided in RCW 29.10.125) during the recount.

The recount procedure provided for by statute is a mechanical function of re-tallying the ballots cast and accepted as valid by the precinct election officers or the canvassing board during the canvass of the election. The decision of the canvassing board with respect to the inclusion or exclusion of a particular ballot during the canvass is not open to question during the recount."

-Gregoire was Attorney General at the time of this memo.

The King County Canvassing Board is 2 - 1 Democrat.
(Shades of Broward County)

Anyone unconvinced that this election is being stolen by the Dimwits could check out John Fund's recent column. It was probably posted here.

"Sorta like Katie Couric..."

Yeah....sorta...MUD

[Zacs Mom]

You'd better behave yourself...

You li'l stinker!

[Mudboy Slim]

"The state Supreme Court will in all likelihood settle the argument and thus determine who the winner is this coming week. Regardless of the outcome, there's now a growing number of people who believe the counting process in King County has been compromised. King County, after all, has a long history of incompetence in handling its elections and has now discovered "new" uncounted ballots nine times since Nov. 2--and there's still time for another surprise or two."

Hmmm...sounds fishy...MUD

Really MurryMom? Who's going to pay for all of this?

"Since Gregoire took office, the courts have ordered agencies represented by her office to pay nearly $500,000 for failing to turn over public records.

The largest case involved the Department of Health and Human Services' withholding of key documents from attorneys suing on behalf of boys abused at the OK Boys Ranch. Singling out a former department head and a senior attorney in Gregoire's office, a judge hammered the state for $417,500 in 1998.

Gregoire's office also was tagged for $33,000 in fines and fees in 1998 for not giving public documents to the Evergreen Freedom Foundation.

This past June, Gregoire and her private lawyers were sanctioned and reprimanded by a federal judge in Seattle for repeatedly failing to turn over documents in a lawsuit against the Attorney General's Office by a former assistant attorney general who claimed she had been wrongly blamed and fired for missing a deadline in an appeal, for which the state paid nearly $19 million."

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Yeah, she will make a fine governor all right. < /eye-bleedingsarcasm >

[Saundra Duffy]

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

[bubbleb]

Thanks for the ping, interested because I have a brother in Redmond.

[superskunk]

The people in 'fly over country' are truly getting sick of these scum. I live in PA (a blue state), but in Butler (a very red county. They just don't get it. They just can't believe the FACT that they're in the minority.

[FBD]

You're a Washington state resident, aren't you?

Would you ping Washingtonians to this thread?
As an Oregonian (I can look across the Columbia river in Astoria, Or, and see your state) I've heard and read stories about how mismanaged her AG office has been.

Murrymom, as a liberal resident of PA, hasn't a clue.
Not that I care about informing her, but more for the right-minded folks on this thread...
Thanks

"They cheated and stole this one, but we will win again and even by more votes, because people are tired of this kind of Election fraud."

I hate to see a Democrat get in there too, but is your statement a quote from a Liberal website, circa 2000?
I have no proof of fraud and so far, all I've seen are alegations. Knowing what I do about Washington politics, I wouldn't be surprised if the claims are true, but I don't think I would take my suspicions to court... Certainly not a Washington court anyway.

[ForGod'sSake]

I've been following these developments in Washington some and it's a textbook case of bananna republic politics. The GOOD people of the state need to redouble their efforts to GOTV so the Rats can't get close enough to run their scams.

My question is, what are the state Pubbies gonna do about this? IMO, they are obligated to fight tooth and nail for the decent people that voted for them. Anything less would be an aberration and a dereliction of their duty to the electorate.

weegee, could you add me to the media ping list.
