The Seattle Times reports:

King County prosecutors are moving to revoke the voter registrations of 99 convicted felons who are believed to have cast illegal votes in the 2004 general election.

The action, announced by Prosecutor Norm Maleng at a news conference yesterday, is the first in a series of purges designed to scrub the voter rolls of felons who shouldn’t have been on them in the first place.

Maleng said prosecutors will now focus on more than 800 possible felon voters identified by the state Republican Party. The party says it has found more than 1,100 felons who voted illegally statewide as it searches for possible illegal votes in an effort to have the election of Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire overturned.

Better late than never.

Christine Gregoire’s margin of victory over Dino Rossi was 129 votes.
