State Supreme Court to hear county's appeal tomorrow
The state Supreme Court will hear an appeal tomorrow from Democrats, King County, and Secretary of State Sam Reed, who are arguing that the county should be able to count 723 ballots that were not tabulated earlier.
The Seattle Times has a great editorial today about this: Count the votes in King County. Also in the Times this morning: a story which headline speaks for itself: Reed says county has right to fix error, tally 735 ballots. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a similar story.
The bottom line is that these votes must be counted. Other counties have been doing this, and the Republicans have said nothing about it. But now, all of the sudden, it's King County and they're complaining and filing a lawsuit. What a surprise. Republicans are afraid of losing the election, and they're trying to set up a new one - they want to give Rossi another chance to win.
Permanent Defense has posted an audio clip coupled with a quote highlighting the Rossi double standard on litigation in this race. You can listen to it here.
During the hearings, which begin at 9:30 AM tomorrow, and when the Supreme Court rules, we'll be sure to bring you news as it happens, along with our analysis.
