Since it's much easier for Democrats to manufacture votes than Republicans, The strategy (apparently election law in Washington and many other states allows for this) of continuing with recounts until a desired result is obtained works very much in the Democrats favor. To assure fair play, FRAUDULANT VOTES SHOULD NEVER BE COUNTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The dead people and felons that cast ballots in Washington's election ruined the integrity of the process. It must be extremely embarrasing for Washington residents, especially after the Florida Fiasco in 2000 where the Democrats were desperately attempting to manufacture votes during the 3rd or 4th recount. The real losers in this election were the voters of Washington.
Unbelievable, WA is now the first dictatorship in the US

Happens in every election.
The difference here is that we caught it.

No one is "blaming" the voters.
When someone yells "hey, STUPID!", it's best not to answer.

And absolutely none of the people responsible for it will be held to account.
Yep.
If I were you guys, I'd get something going. You are found giulty of having commited voter fraud, 10 years and $100,000. No matter how small your part is. You are barred from voting ever again, and holding any public office. If this is traced back to the candidates office, something even more bad for the candidate. Maybe life in prison, repayment of any public funds used in their campaign.
I seriously doubt anyone will be held accountable. Unfortunately, if we look at the reality of ultra-competitive political campaigns, fraud does play a role in the overall strategy for both parties; so IMHO, voter fraud will not be taken seriously anytime soon. Since Democrats have much more to lose in stamping out voter fraud, it is very, very unlikely that any Democrat will make fraudulent votes an issue; and certainly not to the point of mandatory lengthy prison sentences for those voters and/or election officials caught in the act.
I know this is off topic a little, but remember some of the strategy talking points during the 2004 presidential election. The evil genius Karl Rove with his "People of Faith vs. the Democrats" angle on the 2004 election. The Democratic Party became the party of the Hollywood elite. Well, it's really been that way for quite a while now, but Mr. Rove and Republican strategists drove the point home time and time again. This leg of the Republican strategy was not fraud, but it worked much better than fraud! The Bible thumpers came out of the woodwork in Ohio and the Democrats lost states they had no business losing. It seems the older I get, the more interesting politics becomes. Having said all this, as an ex-Democrat turned Republican, I wouldn't put it past Republicans to engage in a little thievery when an election gets really close. When an election is as close as the one in Washington, the party with the most fraudulent votes wins. Once the recounts begin, Democrats in Washington, and apparently elsewhere are much better at "finding" and "enhancing" ballots than Republicans. If Republicans want to win really close elections, they're going to have to get better at that.
