It's not over yet in Washington state gov. race?

From today's Seattle Post-Intelligencer (emphasis added):

Thousands of "mystery voters" in the counties of King, Pierce, Snohomish, Clark and Kitsap appear to be Republican Dino Rossi's best prospect for challenging the legitimacy of the closest and most contentious gubernatorial election in the state's history.

The state Republican Party yesterday called on county election officials to explain what the GOP says is a nearly 8,500-vote discrepancy between county vote tallies and the number of people credited with actually voting in the election.

"People ask me what would fraud look like? It would look like this," said state Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance.

When N people voted, but N + 8,500 votes were tallied, it surely does appear that some monkey business was going on.

Looks like I may need to add another step to the Democrat's formula for victory.
