Ah, but not in Ohio, maties, but in the State of Washington.
Oops — never mind.
Three days after King County election officials explained most of a controversial discrepancy between the number of ballots cast and voters known to have voted, the gap has grown again.
After whittling the discrepancy from 3,539 votes to 1,217 last week, officials yesterday said they had made a mistake.
The number of votes now unaccounted for is "somewhere around 1,800," county Elections Superintendent Bill Huennekens said yesterday.
Huennekens said the numbers released Friday were wrong because the names of 1,003 voters appeared twice on the voter list. Not all of them voted in the November election. Computer experts are trying to figure out why some names were on the list twice.
I would lay down the proposition that voting twice is fraud. The question is, on whose side? Or on both? A little speculation would make me wonder why the Democrats had to ask for recount after recount after recount, till they obtained what they wanted: a win for the position of Governor of Washington. I’m sure that all the Democrats that are so interested in making sure all fraud will be eliminated will want to take a close look at Washington, won’t they?
Republicans asked Chelan County Superior Court on Friday to set aside the election results, saying the number of "mystery votes" in King County was larger than Democrat Christine Gregoire’s 129-vote lead statewide over Republican Dino Rossi in the manual recount.
We shall see what happens on February 8th, when a special election is held.
And I’m willing to bet, despite voting fraud being a crime, that no one is prosecuted for it.
Don’t forget — the Republicans in North Carolina can prove they won the election, but the Democrats are STILL claiming victory (Comm. of Ag.)
My dad is up on Olympia right now holding a sign in the freezing cold that reads “RE-VOTE!”
Something I’m having a hard time getting my brain around is why the only people to get a recount..twice…was king county, the central libbo hub of Washington?
