[nw_politics] See Where A Recount Will Get You

Well, how about that...going from a win of 42 votes, Dino Rossi lost the Washington Governor's race by about 130. Congratulations, Christine Gregoire!

Of course, now that the Republicans have lost one on recount, expect more court dates. Give the Washington Supreme Court credit, though; it's not the voters' fault those lost ballots fell through the cracks. I'd of wanted mine to be counted regardless. Anything else is disenfranchisement.

And the Republicans weren't challenging those ballots in the interest of fairness. They were challenging them because they would most likely tilt the tally in the direction of Gregiore. Which they did.
