[Vision2020] FW: seattletimes.com: Let's hopecourt'son voters'side

[Tom Hansen]

A runoff?  Oh, yeah.  That'll work in Washington state right now.

I can just hear it now -

"OK, guys.  Put everything back in the truck.  We ain't gonna have a
recount.  We are going to have a re-vote and the state decided that we can
only vote for Gregoire or Rossi."

Jeesh!  And after the re-vote and we realize that we are absolutely no
further ahead, what then?

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

Don, 

If that was the case, then I guess I am.  But, from what I've seen and
read so far (and I have been purposely avoiding it for a couple days)
Rossi won the initial count and the mandatory recount.  If Gregoire wins
the second recount, you know Rossi's people are going to sue to get it
counted again, and I'm sure more votes will be found, and it will go
back and forth.  

Heck with it.  Someone suggested ( I believe a former WA secretary of
state) to do a runoff with the top two vote getters.  That seems like
the fairest solution to me.  Should be automatic, in my opinion, if
there is a difference of "X" votes.  BUT, I have a caveat:

NO MORE ADS!!!  Just run it off.  Tomorrow if you have to.

That's good, Dan, though I wouldn't have the nerve to 
suggest it. You want the Dems in Washington State to be 
gracious losers even though their candidate for 
governor apparently got the most votes.
