AP/MSNBC: Republican challenges Washington vote

Democrat won governor’s election by 129 after two recounts

BELLEVUE, Wash. - Republican Dino Rossi and the state Republican Party announced Friday that they would contest the governor’s election that gave his Democratic opponent, Christine Gregoire, a 129-vote victory.

Republicans have been building a case over the past few weeks, gathering evidence of voting irregularities, including illegal provisional ballots and a handful of votes cast by dead people. They are pushing for a revote, an unprecedented step in a statewide election.

Former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., a supporter of Rossi, said he believed the Republican had enough evidence to support an election challenge. He pointed to questions about mishandled provisional ballots in King County.

They will never, ever stop. How much do you want to bet that the dead people are people who died in between voting (absentee) and election day?
