Because of this... Election scandal "The new media — talk radio, bloggers and independent watchdog groups — have followed up their success in exposing Dan Rather's use of phony memos by showcasing another scandal: Washington state's bizarre race for governor, which features a vote count so close and compromised it allows Florida to retire the crown for electoral incompetence," John Fund writes at www.OpinionJournal.com. "If Democrat Christine Gregoire, who leads by 129 votes and is scheduled to take the office Wednesday, eventually has to face a new election, it will have been in large part because of the new media's ability to give the story altitude before it reached the courts," Mr. Fund said. ... "In Washington state, the errors by election officials have been compared to the antics of Inspector Clouseau, only clumsier. At least 1,200 more votes were counted in Seattle's King County than the number of individual voters who can be accounted for. ... More than 300 military personnel who were sent their absentee ballots too late to return them have signed affidavits saying they intended to vote for [Republican candidate Dino Rossi.] Some 1 out of 20 ballots in King County that officials felt were marked unclearly were 'enhanced' with Wite-Out or pens so that some had their original markings obliterated. "Most disturbing is the revelation last week by King County officials that at least 348 unverified provisional ballots were fed directly into vote-counting machines."
