So it’s coming up on Christmas, and the state of Washington still doesn’t know who its next governor will be. Currently it MIGHT be Democrat Christine Gregoire, by a margin of a whopping 10 votes.
Republicans have begun preparing for a lawsuit, and vowed to seek out Rossi voters whose ballots were disqualified because of election workers’ errors and ask canvassing boards to review them.
“It’s certainly too close to call and [Republic contender Dino Rossi] is not conceding,” Rossi spokeswoman Mary Lane said. “This election is not over.”
All indications are that this won’t be resolved before the current governor, Democrat Gary Locke, serves his term. What fun it is when voters can’t be decisive and our candidates are that mediocre.
