Didn't see it mentioned, so I thought I'd post it up.
BELLEVUE, Wash. - Republican Dino Rossi and the state Republican Party announced Friday that they would contest the governor's election that gave his Democratic opponent, Christine Gregoire, a 129-vote victory.
I know I shouldn't be surprised by this, but Rossi is setting a new standard for being a 'sore loser'.
Former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., a supporter of Rossi, said he believed the Republican had enough evidence to support an election challenge. He pointed to questions about mishandled provisional ballots in King County.
Republican observers say hundreds, perhaps thousands, of King County provisional ballots were fed directly into vote-counting machines on Election Day, when staffers should have verified that they belonged to registered voters.
Perhaps thousands???? I understand the concept of 'rough numbers' but to use "hundreds or thoudands" doesn't qualify as a reasoned rough number. That's sheer guesswork, aimed at riling the base. If HypoRossi get his revote we should pour national cash and resources into destroying this whiney, sniveling, self serving excuse for a public servant.
