FUND ON THE TRAIL:
"Florida NorthwestWill Democrats steal the Washington
governorship?"

Anyway a friend sent it to me and below is my response to the article:
The only thing I think this and the Florida race in 2000 and maybe even Ohio
this year prove is that your vote doesn’t really count. Each year we learn
that states CAN NOT physically count all the votes accurately. You’re vote
surely counts if you live in a jurisdiction with a large plurality toward one
side, but in the races where each vote is critical it’s been proven that we just
can’t count votes accurately.
I was up in Washington this weekend and watched a little TV and the most obvious statement (and troubling) was someone who pointed out that “you and I could count this stack of ballots today and agree on a number, tomorrow we would count them again and likely get different numbers”. So True.
Let’s say Gregoire gets her recount and she wins by 50 votes. Is Rossi supposed to let that stand? I would think not.
The only thing you can say about this election is that we will NEVER know the true count.
