Rossi, Republicans Reveal Voting Irregularities
State GOP leaders say it's clear something wrong with election

Washington State Republican Party leaders say they've found 8400 more ballots cast than the number of voters registered in the state's five largest counties. State GOP Chairman Chris Vance says the mismatching numbers in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Clark and Kitsap are troubling.

Republican Dino Rossi won the first two counts in the governor's race, then lost a hand recount to Democrat Christine Gregoire by a mere 129 votes. Republicans are mulling a possible legal challenge to the election, and Vance says discrepancies like the ones they found so far are clear indications that things went wrong. County auditors have said it typically takes a while for election results to be reconciled with voter registration records.

Reply 3 - Posted by: Shrugging Atlas, 1/3/2005 5:49:59 PM Obviously they don't have the Sixth sense and don't realize that in democratic counties the dead still manage to vote

Reply 5 - Posted by: trotter, 1/3/2005 5:50:49 PM Okay Boys and Girls, can you determine the difference between the following scenarios: A. 100,000+ vote margin in Ohio is tantamount to election fraud. B. 8,400 more ballots than registrations in WA is no big deal. I know, I know, trick question. There is no difference - they are both dumbocrat reactions.

It's FRAUD you idiot, don't be troubled start screaming foul and take it to court!!! What the hell kind of a politician is this guy?

Reply 9 - Posted by: pakrat22, 1/3/2005 5:55:05 PM Was it Hugh Hewitt who said "if it ain't close they can't cheat?". Well it was close, the first TWO times, so they cheated.

Reply 10 - Posted by: Tulsa, 1/3/2005 5:56:54 PM go after the fraud. fine them and jail them. US Marines are dying for our right to vote. Dayum fraud and the horse it rode in on. ballot machines arrive with thousands of votes already on the them...the dead voting...more votes in counties than are registered...tallies marked over and numbers increased and then certified! NO. Stop it. stop it ...stop it. Stop it nationally. Stop it at every level. Stop it everywhere.

Reply 11 - Posted by: Not So Little Nell, 1/3/2005 6:07:37 PM Practice makes perfect. The Dems have practiced and practiced for a very long time. Ever wonder if F. D. Roosevelt really did win those last two terms in office? He was terribly ill for his last campaign, and I bet the Dems knew he wouldn't last his last four years. Just ruminating.

Reply 12 - Posted by: Fritzilou, 1/3/2005 6:13:35 PM This should be recounted and varified. No matter how long it takes and whichever party wins, this should be done. This is not a partisan issue; it is a truth issue.

Reply 14 - Posted by: master sergeant, 1/3/2005 6:16:36 PM DemocRATS cannot be trusted in the election process. They will connive, cheat and perform just plain criminal in order to gain political power. The Washington state Republicans had better file a lawsuit and fight this in court. Don't give the d'Rats a break. If you do, the d'Rats will stab you in the back.

Reply 15 - Posted by: Tulsa, 1/3/2005 6:20:05 PM The left has been doing it for decades. The South was rife with it. My Daddy was a democrat until RR. It's still happening in dnc precints all over the Country. New Orleans parrish is a current hotbed of fraud. We 'must' have had a monitor there in 04 or jindal would not have won. the 02 election in SD was stolen. Florida was almost stolen in 2000. The outcry nationally should be overwhelming. MAN! this makes me angry.

Reply 16 - Posted by: pepperblue, 1/3/2005 6:25:08 PM The RATS are trying to steal the election in North Carolina and now this -- proof that the only way a RAT can win these days is through voter fraud, intimidation (see Wisconsin) and outright judicial manipulation of voting regulations.

Reply 17 - Posted by: 12mi radar, 1/3/2005 6:28:48 PM The democratic party is this nation's socialist and communist party. In Washingto State the Repubs will never find the cojones to fight as hard and dirty as will the democrats because the Republicans belive in our form of government. Democrats don't!

Reply 18 - Posted by: typhoon, 1/3/2005 6:45:07 PM Well, unless the Republicans in Washington do something about this, it is just so much hot air. It's put-up or shut-up time. If the Washington-state Republicans mount a legal challenge, I will be happy to donate to their cause just as I did with the Swift Boat Vets.

Reply 20 - Posted by: Tulsa, 1/3/2005 6:52:12 PM me too #18...me too. I always put my money where my mouth is. this makes me furious and it is way past time to stop it.

Reply 21 - Posted by: Dolley Madison, 1/3/2005 6:56:11 PM Any state that entrenched in liberalism has a democrat voting machine to beat the band -- and any Republicans that apply!! Name names, so we can see who and what they are, and THEN have a recount. 10 to 1 the Republican wins by 1000s of votes.

Reply 22 - Posted by: nycweboy, 1/3/2005 6:56:34 PM Of course the discrepancies should be investigated, but so far this, by itself, seems like less than meets the eye. There could be a number of explanations - including the provisional ballots issue - to explain some, if not all the discrepancies. And anyway, it's the GOP that has been resisting the kind of serious overhaul of election systems that would get greater accuracy and clarity in voting processes, preferring to make cosmetic changes on the cheap. If this lights a fire under them for more comprehensive reform and the money to execute it, bravo. And finally, the GOP looks dreadful when it appears to be trying to keep people from being able to exercise their right to vote. It would seem more worthwhile to advocate a new vote rather than trying to use disqualifications to simply invalidate enough votes to get their way.

Reply 23 - Posted by: babsathome, 1/3/2005 6:58:01 PM I'm with you #18. I will gladly donate to fight this fraud. I want those crooked officials making big rocks into small rocks in Leavenworth( and not Leavenworth WA either). The Fed Penitionary.

Reply 24 - Posted by: GoIDF, 1/3/2005 6:59:16 PM I can just see the RATS at the hand recount table... 'Oh, look...here's a blank ballot that we found in the garbage...since it was obviously lost by a dumpster diving RAT...we'll just fill it in and chalk it up as another vote for Christine.

Reply 25 - Posted by: nutmegger, 1/3/2005 7:01:24 PM Hi folks. Troubling--ye God, what have we here, a bunch of wimps. This is a slam dunk case of raw fraud. Wash Repubs.--lets get this mess straightened out. Plain and simple--you have been screwed.

Reply 26 - Posted by: WillfullyRight, 1/3/2005 7:14:32 PM The frustration that Republicans feel when voting practices are in question is dripping from these posts. Unless something is done to stop the mockery of our election process, people are going to become so cynical that they won't continue to be engaged in any election. Way past time to stand up and be counted. Surely, there must be someone in Washington state who has the guts to stand up for what is right. The support will be overwhelming for this individual. Time to stop rolling over and do something no matter what the outcome. We have to have faith in our election process.

Reply 27 - Posted by: amereagle, 1/3/2005 7:19:17 PM Ruh, roh, more "irregularities" in Dim counties. How much more OBVIOUS can those losers be???

Reply 28 - Posted by: Tulsa, 1/3/2005 7:21:27 PM bool feathers. the RNC fought the dnc on the floor of the Senate and the House to require ID. I saw it live on cspan. that bleep about the RNC preventing voters from voting is just that...it's complete bleep. the RNC wants them to vote ONE time...withIN voting times set by Law, not some dayum judging holding the polls open when there is absentee voting, early voting, etc. and showing up with a light bill is NOT ID. it's not about equipment...it's not about pouring more money into machines. Its about ONE vote per person. IN the correct precinct.

Reply 29 - Posted by: Photoonist, 1/3/2005 7:25:27 PM The Wash. State Supreme Court says ''Cheating is okay if you're a Democrat. No further recounts or investigation.'' Just watch; for any action the Republicans will have to go higher.

Reply 30 - Posted by: Isis, 1/3/2005 7:26:03 PM I'm saddened and disappointed.

Reply 31 - Posted by: starboard, 1/3/2005 7:30:46 PM The GOP needs to turn the big gun lawyers out to go after this in a big way. Where is judicial watch when we need them? This needs to be addressed quickly.

Reply 32 - Posted by: MorningStar, 1/3/2005 7:43:15 PM The dim Dems' motto is: If at first we don't win, recount and recount until we can stuff enough ballots to win! Especially, if we can catch the Republicans asleep at the wheel - then we declare VICTORY!! Works in Chicago, so why not here in Washington. Hope the Republicans in charge of Rossi's campaign don't take this one lying down. Go get those dishonest Dems.

Reply 33 - Posted by: shurnuff, 1/3/2005 7:47:02 PM Shouldn't we all be writing to Rossi and the RNC in WA to tell them just what is being said here on this thread? It doesn't do us any good to simply complain here....

Reply 34 - Posted by: Riley, 1/3/2005 7:48:22 PM The Republicans have to take this one to court. Even if they lose they can expose the cheating that the Democrats do every year. This lawsuit will also put the cap on the crap going on in Ohio. It will be fun to see Jesse defend the vote in Washington and sue the vote in Ohio.

Reply 35 - Posted by: berserker, 1/3/2005 7:54:01 PM The Dems didn't really lose, they just didn't have enought to win. When that happens, improvise with fraud. I could continue, but that would only profusely amplify my blood pressure.

Reply 36 - Posted by: ussalaska, 1/3/2005 7:54:34 PM Tim, I'm troubled and concerned. Whenever the vote is close, the evil Republicans accuse us of cheating. Where is the love, the bi-partisatnship? Can't we all just get along. Let's move on. s/off

Reply 37 - Posted by: Pam, 1/3/2005 8:04:48 PM The article ends by saying it always takes a while to match up the votes with the registered voters. My question is WHY?

Reply 38 - Posted by: noddy, 1/3/2005 8:20:15 PM Mulling and a buck won't get you a latte in Washington State.

Reply 39 - Posted by: Yorkiemom, 1/3/2005 8:20:25 PM If the Dims were honest, you would think they would want to get to the bottom of why there are more votes than voters in certain counties.

Reply 40 - Posted by: LittleHoodedMonk, 1/3/2005 8:23:03 PM 'County auditors have said it typically takes a while for election results to be reconciled with voter registration records.' Please point out that these 'County auditors' are more than likely dRATS, like those that 'ran' the Floridah recount in 2000. And, is it true, that the 'party' that 'supports our Troops,' but just doesn't allow their votes, even at this point in time?

Reply 42 - Posted by: Jerseycitysteve, 1/3/2005 8:49:28 PM Yawn, this reminds me of the Ohio story posted recently. Only fanatics care enough now. Just like the President's legal team said today: ''a poorly drafted script for a late night conspiracy-theory movie.''

Reply 43 - Posted by: Halfgenius, 1/3/2005 8:50:28 PM The 'Rats plying their trade? Why should we be surprised? This has been going on since there has been 'Rats! But it seems as of late they've been caught in their nefarious shenanigans, there expertise seems to be lacking or...we're getting smarter at any rate this attempt to distort and overthrow a political election should be met with the force of law, federal law...out of the 'Rat venues. If they are innocent then let it be shown in court. The 'Rats should be considered guilty of voting fraud until proved innocent because of the seriousness of the charges.

Reply 44 - Posted by: 901AtTheRiver, 1/3/2005 8:55:32 PM Yes #7. One and the same. I guess when you conjure ballots you should also conjure the registrations to go along with them. Only problem is that registrations can be checked. Rossi is the duly elected Governor. The fraud must be stopped.

Reply 45 - Posted by: Jerseycitysteve, 1/3/2005 9:02:04 PM Come on. Doesn't this remind you of the Democrat's hysteria over Ohio? The Democrats have few masterminds these days.

Reply 46 - Posted by: rlwo, 1/3/2005 9:15:21 PM You should check www.soundpolitics if you think this is the same hysteria as Ohio.

Reply 47 - Posted by: TheTech, 1/3/2005 9:56:39 PM I am more than troubled by the WA State GOP Chair saying the fraud was troubling. I am outraged ----AT HIM! He should be yelling and screaming. This is a felony! Gawlsh darnit! If The Republicans in WA want to mount a legal challengte, I am with #18. I will donate. This is exactly what Hugh Hewitt said with the title of his book, "If it ain't close, they can't cheat!"

Reply 49 - Posted by: Rob Roy , 1/3/2005 10:08:45 PM Time to go to federal court. This carriage of misjustice MUST NOT be allowed to stand.

Reply 50 - Posted by: Bugsy in Orygone, 1/3/2005 10:11:38 PM Any of you from WA state? I've already e-mailed and let the Washington State Republican Party know of L-dotters who'd support them if they wanted to mount a legal fight to do what's right--and stop this outrageous voting fraud. That was 2 weeks ago. Maybe they need to hear from you! This is no time to give up. The Dems have trolled for votes in King County just like they tried to do in Florida.

Reply 54 - Posted by: avogadro, 1/3/2005 11:39:04 PM As a (Republican) poll watcher/observer at a Washington State precinct located in one of the counties listed in this article, I can say that it was SHOCKING to me that election officials were not keeping tallies of the number of provisional ballots that were distributed to voters at that location. The election workers had no clue how many provisional ballots were distributed but, by golly, EVERYONE who showed up at the door was allowed to vote.... I wonder how many of the 'voters' were actually eligible to vote. I can count on one hand how often individuals offered voters' registration ID.

Reply 55 - Posted by: Lust For Justice, 1/3/2005 11:57:04 PM C'mon...we ALL KNOW, if they're commiecrats, they're cheating. They CAN'T win any other way. I'm just waitin' till SOMEBODY can prove it and then have the...courage to do something about it.

Reply 57 - Posted by: nevernaught, 1/4/2005 2:10:41 AM *County auditors have said it typically takes a while for election results to be reconciled with voter registration records.* Have to wait for the obituary records to certify the election again I see. It's time for the Republicans in congress to pass a voting law that employs stiff penalties for vote fraud. I'm talking about years in jail. That would include illegal criminals voting and people conspiring to commit fraud in elections. There are people in Iraq dying to allow Iraqis the right to vote. I want my right protected from fraud. I see our house liberal sees nothing wrong with 8500 more people voting than there are voters. Figures. This MUST be challenged.
