Failure to comply does not have to be 'intentional' in order to get a revote. Only need to establish that failures to comply and there are at least 129 questionable ballots.
King County (Dean Logan) said that this years discrepency was on the order of past discrpencies - typical lawyer-speak. What he failed to mention was that it really wasn't and that in 2000 it was 17. It should be zero.
Snohomish deputy prosecutor just admitting that there was a problem accounting for the ballots.
The judge presiding over the case may not have entertained any motions until today.
I think what is happening right now is each individual county is trying to get out of the case, get the case dismissed.
BTTT
Today is the first day of any motions to dismiss. So far the Dems are 0-2. Can't wait to see how the media are going to spin this into a Republican defeat.
The guy for Ferry County is good. Ferry County was to be considered an indispensable party. That's good.
Thanks for the explanation:)
I like that logic.....they cant prove we were intentional in failing to follow the rules.
Lots of litigation in WA now....that Neuheisel trial is another comedy of errors.
Anyone know anything about this judge? Given that the Democrats were arguing it should be tried in a different county - why did Rossi pick this particular county? Why not King County, where most of the problems occurred?
This appears to be a big scandal - I'm trying to get some fairly basic information. Thanks for any help,

Dems are trying to argue on minor technicalities that each of their county auditors should be removed from the case.
So far, the press doesn't seem to be spinning it as anything but a defeat for the Democrats:
