Former Washington State Governor Dan Evans has written a persuasive op-ed for why we need to have a re-vote in this state. Governor Evans main argument is that we should always follow the will of the people, whether it favors your political preferences or not.
This should be the approach of the state GOP. We shouldn't try and overturn this result in the courts, we should lobby for a re-vote to the legislature. If the Democratic led legislature chooses partisan politics over principle, than we can run on that in the upcoming elections in '06 and '08. The place to make our case is to the people, not the courts.
