More Washington Vote Scandal
Gregoire pushed over the top by illegal felon voters:
Republicans dissatisfied with the balloting that installed Democrat Gov. Christine Gregoire alleged Tuesday that 1,108 felons voted illegally in the 2004 election.
Dino Rossi, the failed GOP candidate, is challenging Gregoire’s election in court on the grounds that illegal votes and election workers’ errors irrevocably tainted the results. He’s pushing for a new election.
Gregoire won the election by just 129 votes, after a hand recount of 2.9 million ballots. Rossi had won the first two counts…
…Republicans have spent the past couple of months searching for felons who voted despite not having their voting rights restored. Rossi spokeswoman Mary Lane announced the 1,108 number on Tuesday. Lane said 884 of those were found in Democrat-leaning King County.
