| Description | SEATTLE - The Washington state Republican Party paid Democrats $15,000 to cover court costs in the GOP's unsuccessful challenge to the election of Gov. Christine O. Gregoire.
Officials said the check was cut Friday as Chelan County Superior Court Judge E. Bridges signed a final order to dismiss the Republican challenge, affirming a ruling he issued June 6 that upheld the election results.
Democrats had asked the judge to award nearly $48,000 in court costs for defending the election challenge and said they spent nearly $3.5 million in overall legal costs. But the two sides reached a settlement requiring the GOP to pay just $15,000.
