Washington State: Felonious Funk.

Democrat Christine Gregoire officially beat Republican Dino Rossi by 129 votes in Washington State's Gubernatorial election last November, after a manual recount overturned the results of two earlier counts.

But, let's suppose that you...

1. Take out the felons.

2. Remove the dead voters.

3. Purge the non-citizens.

What do you have?

Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire would have lost the 2004 election to Republican Dino Rossi by about 100 votes.

This according to an exhaustive study conducted by two political science professors, Jonathan Katz of the California Institute of Technology and Anthony Gill of the University of Washington.

Yet, in Washington State, Democrats in the legislature continue to deny that illegal voting even happened, let alone that something ought to be done to end it (via Michelle Malkin).

Meanwhile, all over the country, including in Calfornia, in Texas, in Indiana, in Georgia, and elsewhere, passing simple laws requiring voters show identification at the polls faces staunch opposition from Democrats and left-wing special interest groups.

Those far-left groups prefer, instead, the Count Every Vote Act of 2005 (which George Will aptly renamed the "Little Fraud Among Friends? Act"), introduced by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones.

Count every vote, indeed. Even the illegal ones.

How do they do that? I hope when I die I can still vote!... But really how do they get away with that?

The article by George F. Will on the felons and dead people voting is brilliant! It is a must read.. Thanks again Willisms.com for taking me to that site...

How do non citizens get to do that? That is so strange. I guess it has been well known for years that the Democrats do alot of that. I just don't understand how they get away with it?...Wow! What ever happened to cheaters never prosper? I guess they didn't hear that one! I read that article you suggested and it was really interesting! I love the denials of Hillary and the rest of the liberal gang! Maybe, that is just one of those things that liberals find attractive in one another! Somehow I don't believe they were taught the same values about life!..."I never had sexual relations with that woman"...

It's the same story in Tennessee. Our voter ID bill failed by ONE VOTE.

The Democrats know how many more votes they'll lose if they shore up cheating. It's that simple.
