Gregoire vs. Rossi: Tightest Gubernatorial Election in WA
"And I think that what we have to remember, if we start with the rule, that every vote should count, then we do what is necessary to count every vote." -Gregoire's attorney Jenny Durkan (current Mayor of Seattle)
What happened to counting every legal vote? Is this possible error the reason Rossi lost the election?

Why Not Bring Back Live Poll Voting?
First of all, We the People did not make the choice to remove our rights to vote the polls. All mail-in voting was pushed onto the people through a mandate. There is a very large portion of Washington Residents who would like to see live poll voting rights returned to Washington State's voting system. It is possible that live poll voting has less chance of fraud. Vote-by-mail appears to discredit the integrity of the electoral voting process. It could be true that the risk for fraud increases when you have more than one hand handling each ballot. Who can prove otherwise? Just because you mail in your ballot, doesn't mean it got to the right place. Just because your ballot was logged as received, does not mean the ballot itself wasn't altered. There are too many systems affiliated within the all vote-by-mail process.
As for going to a live poll vote location, you can almost guarantee that your vote is real, true and getting counted! You show up on the election day, you and only you check your boxes in a private and secure booth. Your vote is processed immediately, there is no waiting and processing through a gazillion people and machines.
"The New York Times correctly said back in 2012, 'votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth.” Mail-in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged. Mail-in ballots also have a higher rejection rate than votes cast in person. Then there is the problem of mail-in ballots being miscarried or not delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. In addition, there have been problems with the Postal Service not postmarking ballots, making it impossible for election officials to determine whether the ballots were mailed in time to be counted. At polling places, by contrast, election officials can try to remedy any problems a voter encounters. " (2020, Hans Von Spakovsky)
Weighing the two, it looks like voting in person is better than voting by mail. Please stay tuned for detailed statistics showing why voting in person is better.....
