The controversial gubernatorial race in Washington state may not be over.
The GOP may object to the ratification of the November election. The ratification is usually a ceremony at best in which the leaders of the State House and Senate announce that. hearing no objections, the election is ratified.
This year after multiple recounts GOP leaders say they will object unless questions are answered about the election process that have Governor elect Christine Gregoire 129 more votes than Republican Dino Rossi.
House Minority Leader Bruce Chandler is asking specifically about how several counties counted thousands more votes than there were voters recorded. Without this answer, Chandler says he will object.
Of Rossi would have won, Jesse Jackson would have invaded Washington. Since it is a Democrat who won, at least for now, Jackson is silent on possible voter fraud in Washington State.
