The Washington Times’s Ralph Hallow covers the Washington state election debacle (more here):

Republicans in Washington state suspect Democrats, with 500 patronage jobs at risk, are cheating in what is now the unprecedented third counting of the 2,883,341 ballots cast in the Nov. 2 election for governor.

In the current hand recount, Democrats keep discovering untabulated ballots. The state’s Republicans, who thought they had elected Dino Rossi as the first Republican governor in 20 years, are furious.

State Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance says he can’t decide whether Democrat officials in heavily Democratic King County ? where uncounted or improperly discarded ballots keep popping up ? are “colossally incompetent or completely corrupt.”

How about both?

Stefan Sharansky has taken to calling the King County election board “the Ukraine County canvassing board.”

Perfect!
