Dean Statement on Washington State Election Trial
Washington, DC - Gov. Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, issued the following statement:
"I congratulate Governor Christine Gregoire and am happy that the trial has finally ended. The people of Washington State and our democracy were the real winners in yesterday's court decision. Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges confirmed what we knew six months ago: when the votes were counted, Christine Gregoire was elected Governor of Washington State. The voices of the millions who voted have been heard, every single vote truly made a difference, and our democracy and our judicial process worked just as they should have. "It's disappointing that instead of graciously conceding back in December when all the votes were counted and it was clear that he had lost, Mr. Rossi instead chose to follow the disturbing pattern of the Republican Party by trying to change the rules when things didn't go his way. The ruling yesterday reaffirmed the importance of an independent judiciary.
"We are all proud of the job that Gov. Gregoire is doing for the people of Washington State. For the past six months Gov. Gregoire has focused on the issues that affect the daily lives of the people she serves, and we look forward to her continued leadership."

2. Had Rossi won he'd have focused on the needs of the BIAW |
|
That's the Building Industry Association of Washington, the Washington State Republican party's biggest bankroller.

An independent judiciary is worth fighting for.
