GOP... No Shame!

Democrat Leads in Wash. Governor's Race

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=536&ncid=536&e=1&u=/ap/20041223/ap_on_re_us/governor_recount

State GOP Chairman Chris Vance called their discovery weeks after the election "very suspicious." And some Washington state residents who had calmly been watching the recount with confidence in their state's reputation for clean politics were starting to have their doubts.

At a hearing Wednesday morning before the Supreme Court, Republicans had argued that a recount should be a mere retabulation, and that it was too late for counties to go back and correct errors. But the court unanimously said state law and previous court rulings specifically allow county canvassing boards to correct mistakes during a recount.

Justices questioned Republican claims that counting the votes would cause irreparable harm.

3. of course it would cause irreparable harm.
When the votes are accurately counted Republicans lose. Republicans are scum. They have stolen elections in the last three election cycles.

I've heard that before (in 2000).
