Kind of embarassing to be from WA state right now. Long story short our Governors race is still going and is beginning to make Florida's voting system look like the model. Dino Rossi the Republican candidate won by roughly 240 votes, madatory machine recount he wins by roughly 40 votes, Democratic candidate Christine Gregior with the help of John Kerry and the DNC pay for 3rd manual recount and she wins by roughly 130 votes. 59% of Washington State voters think there should be a revote, 56% think that a revote isn't necessary and that Dino Rossi is the winner. When Rossi won by roughly 240 votes Gregior called it a tie. When asked if she meant a virtual tie she stated that it was an actuall tie. Now that she has won the 3rd and final vote by roughly 130 votes she no longer believes it is a virtual or actuall tie.
King County (Seattle) is the biggest problem and just happens to be Gregior country. They had over 5000 more people vote in their county than are registered to, oops. After the election they found "additional" ballots on 9 seperate occasions totaling almost a 1000, and they had not been secured, oops. King County, due to a court decision from the same folks who said gay marriage was legal in WA state even though it isn't, decided that they could go back and re-canvass votes and add others in that were rejected previosly, oops. This is against WA law as a recounts can only include ballots originally counted and new ones cannot be reconsidered. A good number of our military guys/gals either did not have there vote counted or did not get them until after the elections, oops. If you are from WA state, or not, and think think this should be fixed sign the petion on line and let our representatives know what you think about it.
whoever ultimately wins the election, Republican or Democrat, this needs to be fixed. If you could care less, just sit back and watch how messy this this gets for our state and have a good laugh!
