WA Shocker as Legitimate Ballots To Be Counted

Washington Supreme Court rules for counting the other King County ballots: this will probably put Gregoire up an additional 70 or so votes.

The sensible center-left Joel Connelly of the PI on the issues here.

All the confusion of the Republicans. There are two real pitfalls, one is the non-zero chance King County ballots go against the Ds. The other is the GOP decides to have itself orally pleasured in the US Supreme Court, with its reputation of objective, balanced intervention in state elections. Actually, I think there is little chance the US Supremes would walk into this powder keg, with their sparklers held high, high kicking under their robes. Their credibility is allready damaged, and giving the state GOP the election would weaken their own power.

Sans this, to reverse the election at this point would require the State Supreme Court to get into reviewing individual ballots, which they indicated two weeks ago they would not.
