This Week in Thug Ballot Theft: GopPiG Bastards Stealing Votes In Washington State
Yahoo! News - Judge Blocks Washington State Ballot Count:
"The issue of the ballots could prove pivotal: With all but King County finished with a hand recount, Republican Dino Rossi was leading Democrat Christine Gregoire by 50 votes.
From reading state law and state Supreme Court decisions, 'it is clear to me that it is not appropriate to go back and revisit decisions on whether ballots should or should not be counted,' Arend said.
Democrats appealed to the state Supreme Court, and King County Elections Director Dean Logan said the county also planned to appeal.
'These are legitimate voters who cast legitimate ballots,' he said. 'It's just a travesty if we do not include these ballots.'
Rossi spokeswoman Mary Lane said the judge made the right decision.
'If King County were allowed to keep adding more ballots, elections would never end,' Lane said.
As for those whose ballots aren't counted, she said: 'That is King County's fault. We cannot be held responsible for the fact that King County made a mistake.'"
