If this were true, then Dan Logan and his associates should be fired for incompetence.

However, the did NOT follow state procedures which would have prevented the problem.

Hmm.

I have posted previous a few specific examples of votes which were counted which should NOT have been counted.

I have been assured that a much larger list will be made public in a few days.

Also, if the number of votes in King county in excess of the persons who can be shown actually voted approximates the number of ballots 'found' after the initial count, this seems to me to be 'very interesting.'

"Very interesting," and I agree that is, does not translate into, "Let's have a 'do-over.'"

I would want to see if they could factor in the votes cast by legal voters prior to any revoting.

And if everyone else agrees that votes well in excess of the 'margin of victory' for Gregoire cannot be acounted for to legally eligible voters, then what?

Then possibly adjudication or a revote.  The courts, at times, have determined that someone really won and ordered the results to be changed.  This happened in a PA Senate race in Phila and the mayorial race in FL.

However, before we even appoach those steps, let's try to determine what the will of the voters was.
