"Even though Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire has been in office for months now, the legal battle over how she got there is still far from over.
Republican Dino Rossi is challenging Gregoire's 2004 victory in the closest statewide election in national history, alleging widespread problems including illegal votes cast by felons and dead people.
The challenge was to go to trial Monday. Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges moved the case to the county auditorium to accommodate the scores of attorneys, reporters, politicians and spectators who planned to attend."
Whatever the decision is, expect an appeal.
