No More Votes Needed Thank You

The Democrats have apparently found enough votes to ‘win’ the governor’s race in Washington. What a surprise.

Democrats have claimed victory in the race for Washington governor by a razor-thin margin of eight votes, citing preliminary results of a hand recount they say puts Christine Gregoire in front for the first time. Republicans maintained the race was still too close to call.

The stunning turnaround was reported late Tuesday by the head of the state Democratic Party, who said party officials’ analysis of hand-counted returns from King County - the last county to finish the grueling process - showed that Gregoire had eclipsed the dwindling margin that Republican Dino Rossi has held since Election Day.

And the completely predictable:

“We’re confident Christine Gregoire has been elected the governor of the state of Washington,” Democratic Chairman Paul Berendt said. “I believe Dino Rossi should concede.”

So after mysteriously finding more ‘uncounted’ votes in King County three (or is it four?) times, the Dems have a margin of victory of eight votes. It’s like they’re not even trying to hide the fraud.
