Legislature certifies election
Chris Gregoire will be inaugurated as Washington's next governor tomorrow (Wednesday). The Washington State Legislature voted to certify the election after a Republican motion to postpone certification failed.
The vote to delay failed on a 65-80 vote, with 80 members of the 147-member Legislature opposing the action.
A Chelan County court will hear arguments in the lawsuit contesting the election and filed by Rossi this Friday in Wenatchee.
Earlier this morning, about 1,000 Rossi supporters rallied outside the Capitol chanting "re-vote!" About 200 Democrats gathered in a counter-demonstration, calling Rossi a "sore loser."
