We know that increased scrutiny created a net increase in votes for Governor-elect Gregoire.
Statistics implies that, absent tampering from the Republicans, that errors should fall evenly on both sides.
In the 1980s, a computer programmer specializing in data mining cross referenced violence with the careers of officers in the army in El Salvador.
He found that the violence followed certain officers around as they were deployed to different locations throughout the country, and created a " Who's Who of the nastiest criminals of the country's 20-year civil war."
This can be applied to the Washington State recount.
It is highly unlikely that the irregularities were randomly distributed.
The Republicans in the state election apparatus, and moles within the Democratic party engaged in fraud, and believing that there would not be sufficient scrutiny to undo this.
The science of data mining implies that these people can be identified because the errors will follow them around like murdered peons followed around those El Salvadoran army officers.
They need to be identified and target for immediate removal.
