This just in from the Seattle Times: Judge allows GOP’s statistical analysis

Judge John Bridges this morning said he would allow Republicans to offer statistical analysis to show how illegal voters cast ballots in the November governor’s election.

In Chelan County Superior Court, Bridges denied a Democratic Party motion to exclude the evidence, saying he did not see anything in law or court precedent that would prohibit the use of expert testimony to show how illegal votes were cast.

Stefan at Sound Politics notes, though, that the judge “said he was not yet accepting the statistical analysis as valid for the trial set to begin May 23. He said the Republican evidence is subject to a separate hearing where Democrats can challenge its scientific value.”

Meanwhile, at a John Kerry fundraiser for Washington state Dems, a handful of supporters of Republican gubernatorial challenger Dino Rossi stood across the parking lot with a sign that read:

Living non-felons for Rossi

Hah.
