SEATTLE (AP) - Democrat Christine Gregoire has won the Washington governor's race by 130 votes over Republican Dino Rossi, according to final recount results from King County.

King County was the last county to report in the statewide hand recount, the third count of ballots in the governor's election. The election results have not been certified and probably will be challenged in court.

Just keep re-countin' 'em until they say what you want, then stop.

[ilgipper]

this is criminal. How does the party let this re-re-re-re-count happen?

[spokeshave]

And the military votes were.............?

From King 5

SEATTLE — The canvassing board for King County approved the counting of 566 out of 732 mistakenly rejected ballots in the hand recount of Washington’s incredibly tight governor’s race.

It's fascinating to see the 'rat vote fraud machine in action. Rossi was ahead by most the first count, then ahead by less the second count, then behind by 10, and now behind by 130. You can see more 'rat ballots being "discovered" each round.

"And the military votes were.............?"

....Not important or counted, cause they probably would have voted (mostly) for the Republican.

How many laws have the Dems broken up in Washington to make sure their gal wins???

This is NOT the end. As Cregoire-Gore did, we also have a "right to pursue our legal options."

[KoRn]

Any candidate who isn't a RAT must win outside the 'margin of litigation'. It didn't happen in this case....just too bad.

Thankfully Bush got outside of the 'margin of litigation' in OH. If SKerry would have gotten about 100k more votes we may still not have a decision, and in a worse case scenario be on the brink of crisis.

Just shocks the hell out of me.

If all 732 were mistakenly rejected as stated in your posted blurb, why aren't all 732 being counted? Why only 566? Note that 732-566 = 166 which is greater than 130. Do they know which ballots belong to registered Repubs?

Rigging elections is standard practice for RATS.

[sure_fine]

will they go best 3 out of 5?

[coloradan]

... rejected.

Well it is Festivus season, maybe they can settle it through the Feats of Strength...

[RoseofTexas]

This is out right deplorable!!!!! I hope the WA residents who wanted change there GET OFF THEIR ***ES and stop this CRIMIAL ripoff!!!How are the residents in WA reacting to this??

[mainepatsfan]

The MSM is going to go right along and pretend nothing strange happened in King county at all.

[libstripper]

This is why we need to go to electronic touch screen machines nationally. That way fake ballots can't be "discovered."

[bikepacker67]

Didn't they "find" something like 700 votes in some back room?

No chain of custody. No way to prove they weren't tampered with (or created after the fact, for that matter). We're just supposed to accept that these magic ballots happened to be found, in a democratic county, after the democratic candidate was seen to have lost.

Rigging elections is standard practice for RATS.

They've had 40 years worth of practice. They're now beginning to figure out how to really screw over the voter.
