Dems: You Didn't Stop Our Cheating in Time

Isn't that what the Dems are really saying? You didn't stop the fraud before the election, so you can't have a revote because you discovered illegal votes too late.

Is there any legal basis or was it the best counterstrategy the Washington State Democrats could concoct?

The Seattle media is busy portraying this as a "reform" issue to be fixed for 2006 or 2008 rather than a stolen election requiring a revote NOW. They're happy to see Christine Gregoire installed as Washington's governor and will undermine any revote effort.

TUKWILA — The state Republican Party said in court papers filed yesterday that it has found 300 illegal votes and more than 400 that can't be verified in the governor's election.

With Christine Gregoire winning the governor's race by 129 votes, Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance says he now has found far more than enough evidence to persuade a judge to nullify the election and call for a rematch between Gregoire and Republican Dino Rossi.

Lawyers and Republican staffers are continuing to look county by county for votes cast by felons, in the name of dead people or by people who voted more than once, casting second votes either in other counties or other states.

"I expect this number to literally grow every day," Vance said.

Democrats are unconcerned. Their attorneys have argued that Republicans should have challenged improperly registered voters before the election.

Republicans have identified 240 felons who voted illegally. Party workers have been comparing the state's criminal-history database from the State Patrol to a list of voters kept by the Office of the Secretary of State.
