GOP expected to file suit over Gregoire win. (puke alert)
Advertisements [?]
If there was ever any doubt about who controls the mainstream press in this country let there be no more.

The only state in the US where voting irregularities are front page news and it is where a Republican "loser" is challenging a Democrat.

This proves that the Republicans OWN the mainstream media in this country and that they systematically, and totally locked down the news about much more glaring examples of election fraud/irregularities as in Ohio and other states where volumes of information were submitted by thousands of people to the MSM. This lockdown was done simply and solely because it was a challenge to one of their own. They coerce, bribe, or in some other way cow any journalist in the country that attempts to get a story out that they don't want to be heard and they have the money to endlessly challenge any election that does not go in their favor.

The pathologically hypocritical Slade Gordon, considered a moderate, shows the degenerative effects of being in the midst of such a vile group of fascist slime. I hope he was puking between the statements cited here; at least that would be a sign that he has some decency left.
Neo-con Republicanism/fascism is a disease and those who perpetuate it are a threat to all things civilized.

Gop to file lawsuit: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002144... <http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002144016_gopsuit06m.html>

OLYMPIA — The Republican court challenge to Christine Gregoire's election as governor, expected to be filed today, will center on mishandled provisional ballots in King County and lingering questions about why the county shows more votes counted than people voting on Nov. 2.
That's Republican candidate Dino Rossi's best bet for getting a judge to overturn Gregoire's 129-vote victory, said former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton. Gorton, an attorney who lost his Senate seat in a close 2000 race, is not part of Rossi's legal team but is a close adviser to the candidate and has been consulted about the imminent legal challenge.

"That will be the primary ground of any election contest," Gorton said yesterday.
"And I've got to say I think it's not only a valid argument, but a compelling argument."
The lawsuit also will likely include allegations of votes by dead people and felons, and multiple votes by the same voter. But those issues, while garnering much attention among Rossi supporters in recent days, will be secondary.

"If you're bringing one of these things, I suppose you throw everything in," Gorton said.
