The Supreme Court has finished hearing arguments in the case, WSRP et al. v. King County, et al., and has adjourned to consider the case and reach a decision.
The Democrats, King County, and the Secretary of State had a very consistent argument about the interpretation of RCW: that these ballots should be counted because elections officials made a mistake: it is not the voters' fault, as voters did everything they were supposed to. Republicans tried to argue that King County had already rejected the 735 ballots, and "were outside the universe of ballots", but King County contended those ballots never had been rejected.
Questions were brought up "What is a return?" and "What is a canvass?" by the Republicans, who were (and are) seeking a narrow interpretation of the law. However, the Secretary of State and King County showed through numerous declarations and prior court decisions that a narrow interpretation would be inconsistent with procedures that have been followed for a long time.
