You and everyone else I know, republican, democrat or otherwise. Which begs the question: How the fuck did she get elected again? Remember in the movie Black Sheep how the coincidentally horrible excuse for a human being that was running for governor of washington used dead people registered as voters to gain votes? Just a theory, its not like that would ever happen in real life ..."The election was held on
November 2,
2004, with the initial count showing Gregoire trailing Rossi by 261 votes. However, a legally mandated machine recount reduced that lead to only 42 votes, then a hand count that was requested and funded by the state's Democratic Party gave Gregoire a 10-vote lead. Following a State Supreme Court ruling that allowed several hundred ballots from
King County to be included, her lead was further increased to 130 votes
[27], but when the vote was certified by the state's
Secretary of State,
Sam Reed, at the end of December, one vote which had been counted in
Thurston County past the deadline was disqualified and her lead was reduced to 129 votes.
[28] Washington's Republican leadership then filed suit, claiming that hundreds of votes, including votes by felons,
[29] deceased voters,
[30] and double voters,
[30] were included in the canvass, but on
June 6,
2005, Judge
John E. Bridges ruled that the Republican party did not provide enough evidence that the disputed votes were ineligible—or for whom they were cast—to overturn the election.
[31] Judge Bridges did note that there was evidence that 1,678 votes had been illegally cast throughout the state,
[32] but found that the only evidence submitted to show how those votes had been cast were sworn statements from four felons that they had voted for Rossi.
[32] He subtracted those four votes from Rossi's total and upheld the election.
[33]"
But yeah, that sucks she's going back on her word ... again. I guess its come to be expected :/
