"Governor battle back in court"

See this Tacoma News-Tribune report, with the subhead: "Political parties to debate evidence that can be used in election lawsuit." It begins: "If a judge today allows Republicans to use a mathematical formula to prove that Dino Rossi got more votes than Christine Gregoire in last fall’s governor’s race, it would boost the GOP’s case and set an important precedent in state election law." In related news, the Seattle Times offers Democrats claim GOP skipped 432 felon voters, which begins: " Democrats said yesterday that they've found 432 felons who appear to have voted illegally in November but were ignored by Republicans in their legal challenge to the governor's election. Republicans left those felons out of their case, Democrats say, because the illegal votes came from parts of the state that supported Republican Dino Rossi in his race against Christine Gregoire, boosting the chances that they were in Rossi's favor. " You can find some earlier analysis of this question at this post.
