Today the state Supreme Court will be hearing arguments over whether previously rejected ballots in King County should be counted as part of the current manual recount. Of course it is the Democrats who are hoping for this to be allowed, so they can count all the "mystery" ballots that they keep discovering in assorted places all over King County, and it wouldn't be too surprising if they keep discovering these ballots until Gregoire gains the lead over the rightful winner of the election, Dino Rossi. Hopefully the Supreme Court will do the sane and right thing and not allow the rules to be changed in the middle of the game to benefit those who refuse to accept defeat.
As a sidenote, Washingtonians seem to be getting fed up with the Democrats' antics according to a recently released poll (click here to view the complete results), with only a third of respondents believing that Gregoire will be the legitimate governor should she pull ahead in the manual recount. This should serve as an alarm to Democrats, for even if Gregoire does win, she will never be viewed as legitimate and therefore will be prevented from governing effectively. In addition, it will probably create a backlash against the party that will hinder them in state and local elections in the future.
