Some people say the election is a done deal. Others say there should be a re-vote. With all the evidence I have gathered from my research, I think there should be a re-vote. Some people did not recieve their ballots until the day after the election.

I agree with Nicole Kelly. Dino Rossi did win 2 out of 3 vote counts. Also they found more uncounted ballots.

All the dispute and disagreement can be solved if more accurate results come out. That means a RE-VOTE.

I think this state should have a re-vote. Dino Rossi won 2 out of 3 vote counts and Gregoire only won once. Plus there were more ballots counted than voters.

The only solution to all this is a RE-VOTE.

It is a perfect example of a weak candidate executing a stance based on politics of convenience. When behind, there was her incessant chanting of "count every vote", now when recounted twice to be ahead and using courts to change the election, this stance seems to have lost her backing. Regardless, she'll reap what she sews in the form of a term shrouded in illegitimacy.

Kent is right, the Republicans have no one to blame but themselves. We have to expect that close races will have a certain amount of fraud and errors. We just have to get more people to vote for us next time. It is wrong to blame these errors for our failure to prevail. There's a saying that you shouldn't measure with a micrometer that which you cut with an axe, or something like that.

It is regrettable that the Democrats appear to have stolen the Washington election. But it would not have happen had the race not been extremely close -- a virtual tie.

I think the Republicans would do much better to devote their energies to making sure it is not close next time.
