Cheating.
Read this story to update yourself on the latest Governor's race in Washington State. Reminder Bush/Gore debacle in 2000? Well, its playing out right now at the Govenor level in our state. Complete joke!
If you don't have a long attention span, here is the gist of it, especially in bold text:
Something similar has been going on in Washington State. The Republican candidate for Governor, Dino Rossi, held a lead of a few thousand votes near the end of the counting of the state’s almost two million absentee ballots (70% of Washington’s votes are cast this way). Then, in heavily Democratic King County, officials “discovered” 10,000 additional absentee ballots they had not originally included in the number remaining to be counted. In addition, a Judge ordered the County to allow Democratic Party officials to obtain the names and addresses of 929 people whose ballots were classified as provisional because of mismatched or missing signatures, so as to facilitate the inclusion of these votes. This resulted in a rather unorthodox invasion of privacy: Democratic officials contacted these 929 individuals to ask whom they had voted for in the Governor’s race. If they answered Gregoire, they were then shuttled to the county office to clear up their signature problem. This vote-mining technique added a net 400 votes for Gregoire. The 10,000 extra King County ballots added another 2,000 net votes for Gregoire. As a result of this final Gregoire surge from King County, Rossi’s lead was cut to a scant 261 votes, of about 2.9 million cast.

So, refering to the bold text, if the voter contacted voted for Rossi, the democrats did NOT shuttle their ballot to the county office to have it counted. They claim "every vote counts!" but they failed to mention as long as that vote was for their candidate.
I can't believe ANYONE supports lying cheating bastards like the Democratic party.
Read the updates at the bottom of the page to see what has transpired over the last 48 hours..."Oh, we found another 700 votes!"
King County officials have "discovered" yet another stash of "lost" votes in a warehouse. No chain of custody, of course. It couldn't be used as evidence in court if the police produced something of similarly uncertain provenance. And the courts have authorized only a recount of existing votes, not a re-canvass.
