OKAY, so the rest of the state has found 1164 extra votes so far. And if King County makes up 1/3 of the state, it could come up with around 582 votes if it finds the the same "amount" (considering its size) as the rest of the state.
If these 582 votes go 58% Gregoire and 40% Rossi, that is 338 votes for Gregoire and 232 for Rossi, a 106 vote gain for Gregoire, which would give her the election.
Just an interesting fact, Garfield's addition of one extra vote would be equal to King County finding over 400 votes.
There is a difference between finding extra votes that were not counted by the machine and finding extra ballots that were never put into the machines to be counted.
The most amazing thing is that, despite several officials looking, the same person finds each and every new, never before seen ballot.
Answer me this: If Bush lost Ohio by 42 votes and Karl Rove kept finding new ballots would you think that was normal or would you be on here screaming bloody murder?
Something is not right here. Whether it is willful fraud or gross incompetence something is not right.
Simply put, there is a roll of who shows up to vote. This gives us a total number of ballots that were filled out. After the first machine count the discrepency between the number of ballots cast and the number of ballots fed to the machine should have been noticed. There should be a record of this somewhere. At that moment King County should have begun looking for the missing ballots, if there are any ballots that were legitimately not put into the counting machine..
