Allison, Washington State law specifically provides for any candidate or citizen to file an election contest here in Washington state. The minimal threshold for a judge to uphold the contest is to prove more illegal votes than the margin of

difference. The judge has four courses of action: 1) void a recount and

revert to the previous count ( two recounts are allowed and the one being

contested can be voided ), 2.) give the issue to the legislature for

resolution; 3.) nothing if he finds insufficient grounds; or 4.) order a

new election. Here we have a gubernatorial contest with 2.9 million votes

cast, and the Democrat winning by 129, after the second recount; Dino Rossi

won the election by 261 and the first recount by 42. Already, hundreds of

felons who voted, illegally, have been found, 348 provisional ballots were

inserted directly into the voting machines instead of their security

envelope, there is a difference of at least 1800 in the numbers of votes

counted and the number of voters in King County, there have been some votes

cast by dead people and the problems mount. Dino Rossi, the Republican

candidate, is a conservative of honor and integrity. He would not have filed

a challenge to simply harass or make mischief. There are solid and

substantive grounds to use a process approved by our legislature. This is

NOT a case of judicial activism gone wild.
