I think it's obvious at this point she isn't going to concede. So if they find enough votes then the whole state has to be hand counted at taxpayer expense, is that correct?


That's my understanding. They cherrypick the counties, or even precints that they want recounted. If the vote turns out in Gregoire's favor, then it goes to a statewide hand count, paid for by the state.

That's right. If she cherry picks counties and comes up with enough votes to put her ahead the taxpayers pay for a state wide recount.

If she does not find enough votes to put her ahead, she can go ahead with a state wide recount, but the dems pay for the recount.

They are scrambling to come up with the estimated $700,000+ it will cost.
