Judge denies request that some King County ballots not be counted
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE --
A federal judge on Sunday denied the state Republican Party's bid to
force King County to stop counting some ballots in the recount of the
governor's race.
In a conference call with lawyers, U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman
denied the GOP's request for a temporary restraining order barring the
hand-counting of ballots machines reject because they can't be read
electronically.
"It was a good decision," state Democratic Party Chairman Paul Berendt
said.
"It's good for voters because it's consistent with the standard we
would like to see - that every vote be counted."
