15. Actually it's the ONLY remedy for a successful contest.
As I've posted before, in an election contest, the only question is "were there more illegal votes or unlawful ballots than the margin of victory plus one?" and it doesn't matter whether the illegal votes or unlawful ballots come from Rossi or Gregoire likely supporters. If you show that's the case, the ONLY remedy (with the exception of some possible criminal prosecutions) from an election law standpoint is a statewide revote.

There will be a revote in this case because there were more than 130 illegal votes or unlawful ballots in the entire State of Washington. I told y'all this was the case when we were behind (don't sweat it because there's going to be a statewide revote) so it didn't change just because we won. Go ahead and start working to win the revote rather than spending a bunch of time trying to stop the rotation of the planet.

You have the proper attitude and that is "get ready to get out of the vote."

The revote's coming. GOTV GOTV GOTV GOTV GOTV
