Considering the presidential election could have swung the other way had Ohio voted for Kerry, I think you can agree the stakes were alot higher then in Washington. My main problem with the Washington vote is that it's simply too close. They could recount the ballots a hundred times and still come up with different numbers. Very few are suggesting the problems had anything to do with fraud.
Secretary of State Sam Reed, a republican, certified the election and recently said that while there were mistakes "at this time there is nothing that appears fraudulent."
"I saw serious mistakes being made. I saw them corrected", he said. "That's part of the process. The system itself worked well."
