This from some one in Washington State. The Democrat, after 3 recounts was narrowly elected. The state is solid Democrat, and did vote for Kerry. She has sent me more of the crap they are pulling. I told her to let it go and let the Democrat take it. But even in our worst election, we have never had this. As we are Red and we let the votes count, not the counters vote.
I am so appalled at how the news reports twist stuff and leave stuff out. Yes, the last article was offered nationally. They didn't mention the 600 ballots that were inserted by the Democrats after the election signed by transients and beggars that aren't registered voters. King County allowed them, knowing most if not all signatures were not from registered voters and submitted after the election day.
I'd be willing to gracefully bow out too and come back again, but Gregoire has been such an awful Attorney General for us I can't imagine giving her even more power to abuse. Because of her antics many businesses like Boeing are moving out of the state. She cost our state millions because of misfiled or late filed grant and federal fund matching forms. Our teachers didn't get the voter approved pay raises for 3 years in a row because she didn't file the annual forms on time to get our matching federal funds (3 years in a row!). Dock workers went on strike and containers with millions of dollars of food sat on the docks rotting because she didn't sign the final approval of the unions acceptance for the state labor and industry fee change. She always blames her staff (by name). In the last 6 months one staff member successfully sued her for libel and won 1.2 million (state) dollars. She failed to file a renewable forest preservation form on time for the Gifford Pinchot State forest lands, she covered it up until the loggers showed up and started cutting down the trees (legally bought and paid for). It was reported that she was given 3 extension notices, personally delivered, and all were ignored. She hesitated for weeks to put out a restraining order, and ended up a federal court did it for her. She blamed her staff during the investigation, but I never heard if it was totally resolved. The loggers are gone, but she did have a nice election contribution from the timber industry.
