King County, Washington (Seattle area) can't explain where 1,800 votes can from.

Since hand recounts in King County (where the default assumptions include the notion that a vote for "Christine Rossi" was assumed to 'obviously' be a vote for Christine Gregoire!) have resulted in 'discovering' enough votes for Gregoire to give her a mere 129-vote lead, I agree this is clear grounds for a revote. Heck, King County credulously accepted and counted several hundred ballots that were discovered in the back of a warehouse days after the election! Yes, folks, those ballots (which I understand have some suspicious signatures with many being of the same handwriting) were completely out of anyone's control for several days. I don't think I have to tell you that anything can be done with blank ballots in a matter of hours....then left to be 'discovered' later. That doesn't mean these votes are frauds, but it does indicate we can have no confidence in what Democrats are apparently attempting to tout as an "insurmountable lead". I think even the case of "Gregoire's still behind? Okay, let's ask for another recount in only strongly-Democrat counties....she's ahead? Okay, Democracy demands we stop now!!!!" makes the whole Democrat machine in Washington complicit in suppressing voters opportunity to express their will.

If I weren't moving away within mere weeks (12-13), I'd have to do something more concrete...
