GOP questions vote discrepancies: 8,500 and counting
By REBECCA COOK
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
Republicans laid the groundwork Monday for a potential legal challenge to the governor's election, with attention turning once again to possible voting discrepancies.
"Perhaps there's a logical explanation for all this," said state GOP Chairman Chris Vance, referring to public records that show nearly 8,500 more ballots than voters in five counties. "But if there is not, this election is invalid on its face and the Legislature cannot in good conscience certify Christine Gregoire."
Vance said the voting discrepancies - if they're not accounted for - could form the foundation for a legal challenge to the election of Democrat Christine Gregoire, who beat Republican Dino Rossi by 129 votes after a hand recount of 2.9 million ballots.
Cleaning up the systematic corruption in US elections is not a partisan issue. But the system is so archaic and open to fraud, that many people serving in public office do not want to clean it up.
