WA Governor Race Ends

Republican Dino Rossi decided last night to not appeal yesterday's decision by Chelan judge John Bridges to let last November's governor election stand -- the closest in U.S. history -- which keeps Christine Gregoire, who won by 129 votes after two recounts, in office. The Republicans claimed that fraud and mistakes far exceeded the difference between the candidates, and that statistical analysis showed Rossi might have received more legal votes. Bridges concluded there were thousands of incorrect votes and other major problems, but that the Republicans didn't meet the high threshold of proof that the result was incorrect. He also said he feared current law will make elections problems even worse, and urged the government and voters to work to fix the system.

If it's filled with assholes like you, it can drop off into the fucking ocean for all I care. And I hope you get the government you deserve.

How can it be unintentional when more ballots are counted than there are registered voters or people who voted?

Think for yourself.

The judge read off a litany of fraud when I heard him.. I'm surprised to hear him say something as idiotic as what you quote, but then I probably shouldn't be.

But the facts are the facts.

Where did all those extra ballots come from? And what possible way could they have been creted that wasn't fraudulent?

Try arguing the facts, rather than quoting someone else who agrees with you-- that's the fallacy of authority.
