OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Republicans say they'll contest the election of Democratic Governor-elect Christine Gregoire.

G.O.P. candidate Dino Rossi says it's not about trying to prove fraud. He says it's about problems in the vote-counting process conducted by individual counties.


Rossi says the only solution at this point is a re-vote. Democrats, who control the state Legislature, have rejected that possibility, although a court could intervene.

Rossi lost the election to Gregoire in a third count of ballots. He won the first two counts by narrow margins, but lost the final hand recount by 129 votes.

Gregoire is scheduled to be inaugurated next Wednesday.
