JunkYard blog - POLL: WASHINGTON STATE'S NEW GOVERNOR "NOT LEGITIMATE" If it's not close, they can't cheat, right? Well Washington State's gubernatorial election in November was close so the Democrats have been cheating to win it ever since, demanding recounts, changing standards, the works. Now that their candidate has been certified the winner, she finds herself facing a voting public that believes she isn't the legitimately elected governor of their state: The GOP polling firm Strategic Vision, LLC found that 54 percent of voters "do not believe" that the final hand recount that certified Gregoire as the victor "reflects the actual election results," reports Friday's Washington Times. Only 37 percent believed the recount was accurate, and that Gregoire truly defeated her GOP opponent, Dino Rossi. Nine percent were undecided. Why would a majority of the voters think that? Hmm. It may have something to do with the fact that in heavily Democrat King County, the recounts turned up waaay more votes than voters. It was last reported that there were 3,539 more ballots counted in King County than voters who cast them. The discrepancy is actually much larger. The 3,539 is only the net. This comes from having roughly 1,500 more voters than counted ballots in some precincts, and about 5,000 more ballots than known voters in other precincts. That one county's shenanigans was enough to tilt the election, won by the GOP candidate on election night, to the Democrat. By having more votes cast than voters to cast them. Isn't that interesting. Folks, what we've seen happen in Washington State is what Al Gore and his henchmen wanted to do to Florida--and thereby the nation--in 2000. In Washington the Democrats were allowed all kinds of crazy recounts, they were allowed to change the standards of what constitutes a legal vote after the fact of the election, and they changed the outcome of a close election in their favor. In Washington State, the Democrats have subverted democracy. We're starting 2005 off with a major political outrage. I hope the GOP reminds voters of what the Democrats have done here every chance they get, and especially in the 2006 mids and in 2008. The Democrats need to pay for this, or they'll just keep cheating. Hugh Hewitt was right--if it's not close they can't cheat. Which means when it is close, they will. In Washington State, they have.
