WASHINGTON — Washington state election officers and military officials say they have found no evidence of problems with overseas military absentee ballots, despite allegations that many may not have been delivered or counted.

“We’re seeing allegations made that large numbers of military voters did not get ballots, but we think that’s partisan rhetoric over a close election,” said Pam Floyd, assistant elections director for the state. “And we believe all military ballots signed by Washington voters and received were counted.”

But state Republicans believe that hundreds of overseas servicemembers never received their ballots, and that may have stolen the election from their gubernatorial candidate, Dino Rossi.

Even the MILITARY says there's no fraud going on in WA

Of course. But only the ones that didn't get their ballots.

Throw as much mud and allegations as possible (regardless of truth) with the hope it will stick.

keep you opponent on the defensive. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, and it's NEVER true.

The "support the military/troops" card. What was really refreshing was how quickly the "troops didn't get to vote" thing came and went. Alot of Washingtonians, especially the western variety were not impressed.

A "certain element" dug out their support paraphernalia (flags, signs, balloons) and car-pooled to the main gate of Fort Lewis, where they held the troops and votes "rally." It was pretty pathetic. Of course the media had their usual fawning sound bites, however the CBS affiliate did have a comment from one gentleman that said he was pretty disgusted that this was the approach rossi was taking to have the votes recounted FOR THE FOURTH TIME.

Several parties have now said that no fraud was present in the Washington state election. I say check out some of the republican precincts. You might find some surprises.

votes were fraudulent, that would be .001 percent. The actual number of fraudulent votes that have been found is 8 (dead people voting, who incidently all voted Rossi), which is like .00000027 percent (i think).

Riddled with fraud, I tell you!!!
