She would do well to recall what happened in Minnesota after the 1962 election for governor there. Republican Elmer Anderson won a squeaker and was sworn in, but a recount of disputed ballots ground on. A hundred days into Mr. Anderson's term, a panel of three state judges ruled that Democrat Karl Rolvaag had actually won by 91 votes. To end the legal wrangling, Mr. Anderson dropped any appeals and calmly left office, allowing Mr. Rolvaag to move into the governor's mansion. This example is not really on point, because in the Minesota case, it was a Republican who was called on to do the right thing.
Democrats are not premitted to lose close elections. Or not so close elections, as we are witnessing in the farce over the certification of Ohio's Electoral Votes...

Blockade the swearing in ceremony. Don't allow Gregoirevytch to be sworn in and keep the government closed until a new election is ordered. This is the same situation as in the Ukraine. If the dems succeed in this corruption, Washington state will no longer have a democracy.
