Congratulations, You Stole the Election

Keep counting until they win, right?

Democratic State Party Chairman Paul Berendt says recount results from King County give Democrat Christine Gregoire an eight-vote statewide victory over Republican Dino Rossi in the governor's race.

The report is very preliminary, and neither King County nor the Republican party could confirm the hand recount results tonight.

But if the Democrats' analysis is right, it's a stunning reversal of fortune in the closest governor's race in Washington history. Rossi won the first count by 261 votes and won the machine recount by 42 votes.

"We're confident Christine Gregoire has been elected the governor of the state of Washington," Berendt said. "I believe Dino Rossi should concede."

Absolutely ridiculous. Remember how this was a "tie" for so long? Now Gregoire wins by EIGHT votes, and it's a win! I wish I knew what to say.
