| Description | WENATCHEE — Judge John Bridges today upheld the election of Gov. Christine Gregoire, dismissing a Republican lawsuit and soundly rejecting claims that wrongdoing, fraud and felon voters robbed Dino Rossi of the election.
Bridges said Republicans did not meet the burden of proof for nullifying an election.
He said there was evidence of irregularities, "as there appears to be in every election," but "not clear and convincing evidence that improper conduct or irregularities procured Ms. Gregoire's election to the office of governor."
"There is no evidence that ballots were changed, the ballot box stuffed or that lawful votes were removed from either candidate's ballot box," Bridges said.
