43. No.
I live in Washington State. I helped monitor the hand count. It was done fair and square and honestly....a true recount, unlike the 'recount' in Ohio. And, the entire state was hand-counted with every ballot observed by a republican and a democrat. In addition, except for him contesting about 200 votes that were already examined (by a bipartison canvassing board), and discarded, there are no other irregularities.

There are no examples of fraud, of votes jumping from one column to the other, or voter suppression. Rossi is simply mad because his 42 vote 'mandate' is now a 129 vote loss. He now claims that Gregoire cannot lead because her election was not legitimate...although he thought his 42 vote lead was decisive.

Why should Washington State democrats agree to a revote, when the violations in the presidential election were exponentially more egregious? If we let them have another whack at this apple, I can only imagine the dirty tricks the republicans will bring to our state. Did you know they want to open the voter registration process before the revote?

Please. I know you want to prove a point, but we do not need a revote out here.
