WA seems to have a problem I'll never forget the three recounts it took to win Christine Gregoire her governorship.
Now the Huckster wants to know why vote totals were being called for John McCain with only 86% of the votes counted. The turn out was so low that people are wondering how anyone could possibly determine the outcome before everything was said and done. The difference between the two candidates was around 200--a very VERY small margin.

The turn out was so low that people are wondering how anyone could possibly determine the outcome before everything was said and done. The difference between the two candidates was around 200--a very VERY small margin.
Fox News has learned that the Huckabee campaign has called for a “full investigation” into the Washington State Caucus results, and are sending campaign lawyers to the state to help in that pursuit. Ed Rollins, Huckabee campaign chairman, directly challenged Washington State GOP Chairman Luke Essers move in anounncing that John McCain had won the tight race with only 87.2 percent of the votes counted.
“The chairman showed very bad judgement in stopping the voting last night when announcing John McCain had won, when there was less that a 200 vote margin between the two candidates,” Rollins told Fox in an exclusive interview.” You never announce a vote, in my 40 years of politics I have never know anybody to announce a vote count before the vote is counted.”
Rollins was quick to say that they were not accusing the McCain campaign of any impropriety but that their issue was soley with the Esser’s “bad judgement”.
Fox News was given unprecedented access to a strategy session today, with the Huckabee campaign inner circle. Ed Rollins, the national campaign chairman, lead the meeting where the main topic was how to challenge the Washington caucus results. Rollins also said their attorneys have attempted to contact Essers but as of this writing he had not returned their phone calls.
According to the state tally,McCain won 26 percent of delegates, Huckabee garnered 24 percent.

^ How would this have changed anything? What are you talking about?
He'd probably get more support if he ran for President of the Internet... seeing that its 'founding father' has gone on to create global warming.

Yeah the three counts in the WA governor race was so pathetic it puts us in the same boat with Florida and Ohio. Now you have to mark the absentee ballot with your party preference and the ballot has a number attached so they can send your name to the party headquarters. No thanks mother Russia.
