Election Debacle in King Cty.Washington Heating up.

Gregorie's gubernatorial win in Washington is looking more tenuous by the day.

Gorton, appearing at a news conference with state Republican Chairman Chris Vance, said the U.S. Department of Justice or some other agency should conduct an investigation. He said he didn't know if any criminal acts were committed in the county's failure to count 93 valid absentee ballots in the tight governor's election in November.

"I think it's appropriate to come to the conclusion that King County has the worst election administration in any county in the United States of America — a humiliating statement, I think, from our perspective," Gorton said.

Gorton called it a "breathtaking" breakdown in the system that 93 ballots weren't counted even though workers knew in November that at least 86 had been misplaced. Gorton lost a close election, after a recount, to Democrat Maria Cantwell in 2000.

Any word from Boxer or Conyers or Jackson.......nope, just us and the crickets.
