Yes.....for those of you not living in the state of WA the election is still under contest.

I dunno.......seems the Dems are going about this all wrong when trying to say that the election was legitimate. I think they are playing the wrong hand.

Not surprising. Just remember everything they said about Democrats' election challenges in 2000 and 2004.

What hand do you think the Dems should be playing?

I don't know about anyone else, but I always play the hand with aces up the sleeve.

Well I think they should be attempting to shore up the notion that the election was legitimate and that the problems that occured in King would not have swayed the election.

Bringing up further evidence of voting irregularities is not the way to go imo.

I find it interesting that we've got a moral equivalency argument in a "how do they feel now that it's a Dem whose victory is highly suspect" but no mention at all of the whole "we must count EVERY SINGLE VOTE" drumbeat we heard in 2000 and 2004 from the Left.

The irony cuts both ways.

Nonetheless, we did not recount the presidential votes in Ohio for the simple reason that there were an insufficient number of suspect ballots to alter the outcome of the election.

We DID recount them -- more than once -- in Florida for the same reason.

And we're recounting them in Washington State for that reason. Frankly, the fraud in Washington State was appalling if even a third of the stories I've seen are true, it's small wonder this is gonna take a while, especially since it is in the Dems' best interest to be obstructionist and litigious at every step of the way.

Stop giving me straight lines like that, Jecks.

Oh, and Kulaf, finding and incarcerating the perpetrators of the fraud, as well as investigating their methods to improve the system for preventing further fraud, will do a lot more to create an impression of a fair and accurate electoral process than sweeping this stuff under the rug when we've got people whose ballots were rejected because of identity theft.

We've ignored this sort of thing for too long already. The dead have been voting in Chicago for longer than I've been alive, and it's only gotten worse. Time to clean house.
