Part 20: The Big Court Battle
Today, the Republicans get their day in court to present their evidence to try and prove that a re-vote is necessary to determine who should really be the Governor of Washington.
In Part 19 and Part 19.1 I covered the Repubs evidence.
Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges will be presiding today.
The local news losers have been quick to point out in their top of the hour news that Judge Bridges threw out a Mayoral race in the city of Wenatchee in 2000, when it was learned that the winner had not lived in the city for the time prescribed by law.
They have not been giving the story about hium throwing a recall effort against a Chelan County Public Utility District commissioner.
This story actually plays it pretty fairly.
Now, if you have never heard of Wenatchee, don’t feel too bad. Although, if you read the label on your apple, you’d be better educated.
I thought I was all set for the ‘Big Washington Race Being Decided By Rednecks’ news stories, but this one still pissed me off.
Small town judge to decide fate of governor’s election
As condescending as the AP can be via the San Francisco Chronical.
