4. Chalk one up for the good guys/gals!

Who knows where we'd be today, if all states and districts took the sacred act of voting as serious as they do up in the great northwest.

Village Voice summed up the election process)==I mean no diss against the poll workers.

9. The latest report from the count was that ...

13. nice! it's hard to believe that repugs don't get more heat for

trying to throw out legal votes. you know they would be pushing for them to be counted if they were from the eastern part of the state!

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. YES! YES! YES!!!!!!!

I saw the very end of the hearing today. I had no idea the ruling would come down so soon! How SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! It feels so good to actually win something for a change!

15. I finally admitted to my husband we donated for the recount

He has been anti politics since the election and today I called to tell him we won WA!! Since we are moving there in 9 months I decided we should put our money where our mouths are.

Even if Rossi won I would feel better about a manual count, I don't trust elections any more. I wish Ohio & Florida had a way to manually recount.

16. You have to love persistence and tenacity!

Thank Goodness those in WA were committed to stick with it ALL the way to the very end, come what may! Lovin'it! :bounce:

[rerdavies]

17. Actuially it's a blow to the democrats now...

seeing as the democratic candidate is now unofficially ahead by 10 votes. If that's true, the Repubicans will *want* to have those votes counted in one last desperate attempt to gain a majority.
