Both no. The whole idea is absurd.
In every election, somebody must win and somebody must lose. In an especially close election such as this one, it's difficult to stand on any kind of moral high ground and start judging voters intentions and what-not. There could have been 50 people who had car trouble on their way to vote for Rossi. Maybe some future Gregoire voters were aborted in their mother's womb.
I've ran a voting station before and that experience made me realize just how precarious our voting system is. There are plenty of voters who have severe mental handicaps but that are brought in by relatives or friends to vote. A Democrat and I had to help one voter who was probaly 99 years old and completely out of his mind and was just randomly hitting his finger at the touch screen. I have to give him credit though - I'd consider him more informed than the lady who came in and asked if there was a button that she could press to vote all Democrat so she wouldn't have to bother reading the candidates names.
To sit here and quibble over 100 votes in an election where millions are cast is futile. It's difficult to talk about an irregularity here or there when in fact the entire system is an irregularity.
Rossi is down for the count. It pains me to say it, but he has no other honorable choice than to concede and live to fight another day.
With the butterfly ballot and all, I'd say Florida 2000 would have made more sense then Washington 2004, but I voted no on both.
Um... you Dems created the butterfly ballot. It's not our fault that Democrats are too dumb to follow instructions.
