Gregoire wins recount by 8 votes, say Democrats |
Loading ...I rarely post about politics, but this Governor race here in Washington State has been mindbending and has made this a national story. First Dino Rossi (Republican) wins by 261 votes and then a machine recount is demanded because it’s so close and he wins that by 42 votes out of 2.9 million ballots cast and then another hand recount was demanded by Christine Greoire. Now, KOMO4 reports:
The head of the state Democratic Party said late Tuesday that recount results from King County give Democrat Christine Gregoire an eight-vote victory in the closest governor’s race in state history. Neither King County nor the Republican party could confirm the hand recount results on Tuesday night.
Will Washington state residents find out today who the Governor of Washington is actually going to be? Somehow, even though the election was nearly two months ago, I’m doubting it. Hope I’m wrong.
If Gregoire wins, let’s have a general recall and vote both of those jokers out of here. Neither one of them deserve to be governor any more.
Here’s another thought….
The second recount has been the dumbest waste of good money. Why not spend the 1.2M by funding a charity? The Dems could have really helped change someone’s life by putting to their money to work in this fashion.
