prakapovich— WASHINGTON STATE, 2004
“Democratic machines have been stealing elections since before the Civil War.”
A week after the 2004 Washington state gubernatorial election, Republican Dino Rossi was up by 3,492 votes against Democrat Christine Gregoire. Then Democratic King county began finding “misplaced” ballots, eventually producing more than 10,000 of them.
Hey, guys! I found another box of ballots under the sink!
So that’s another 800 votes for Gregoire.
Oh wait — you’re not going to believe this …
You found more votes?
Bingo! 600 votes for Gregoire.
An examination of the records later showed that about 1,800 more ballots had been cast than there were voters who had requested them.
Notwithstanding the miraculously appearing ballots, Rossi won the recount a few weeks later, but his lead was cut to 42 votes — easily within stealing distance. Democrat Christine Gregoire demanded a hand recount, and that put her ahead by 129 votes, whereupon she was promptly declared the winner.
Washington voters overwhelmingly believed the election had been stolen and wanted a revote. Democrats didn’t care. Nothing was ever done about the flagrant vote fraud. Washington now has 100 percent mail-in-ballots and no Republican has ever again won the governorship.
Twitter: This claim about election fraud is disputed.
