Everyone needs to understand that the vote counting systems in King county and the rest of the state are very different.

King county is the ONLY county where they have had multiple 'findings' of votes.

The vote counting process is the rest of the state has NOT been questioned (to the best of my knowledge) questioned by anyone.

To answer your first question.

The King county report is supposed to be at 3:30 pm PST.

As to your second question, its hard to tell.

The best solution would be to rerun the election as the vote count in King county is totally absurd.  They would need to have a team to watch Dean to make sure he doesn't play anymore tricks to make such an election valid.

I suspect that Rossi probably follow the path of Nixon in 1960, and run for office another day (and be rewarded with victory for being willing to put aside prolonging the contest which Gregoire and Logan have determined to win at all costs).

In his concession speech, he should call for changes in the process to prevent the shenanigans of Logan and his crew in future elections.

Gregoire will probably assume office, and be under constant trouble throughout her one term.

Gregoire better be a good governor.

However, in any case, Carl, unless she is mediocre or worse, she will be re-elected. She ran a truly awful campaign. It's not that Washingtonians love Rossi; most votes were grundgingly because Gregoire was so widely disliked.

If she becomes more personable, she's unbeatable.

It's Washington.

It really doesn't matter whether the people hate her or not as long as Dean Logan is 'finding' votes for her.

King county was supposed to have released its vote count yesterday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. PST.

It will be interesting to learn if Logan has 'found' anymore ballots for Gregoire.

Ah, but the question is whether Gregoire was elected by a vote of the people, or by Logan's shennigans.

You really should have a careful look at the shennanigans in the King county vote process.

Its so bizarre that most people find it hard to follow, and all realists find it hard to believe.
