Words mean things...

...and "revote," the word that Republican trial lawyers are using in their search for an activist judge that will overturn the democratically elected Democratic governor of Washington, means something other than what they want to do.

This isn't a meeting where all the attendees can be asked to raise their hands and be counted again. The Republicans want a brand new election, with a brand new electorate in order to get what they hope will be a brand new result.

Their success in any of those goals would have a variety of negative consequences, not the least of which is that, as Dean Nielsen points out at Progressive Majority Washington, they would...
...disenfrancise Sgt. Jay Anthony Blessing, from Tacoma, who died in Afganistan on Nov. 14th, Spc. Harley Miller, of Spokane, who died Nov. 27 also in Afganistan, Staff Sgt. Kyle Eggers of Yakima, killed Dec. 4 in Iraq (and the son-in law of Yakima City Council member Susan Whitman), Spc. Blain Ebert, of Washtucna, who died Nov. 22 from injuries suffered in Iraq, Marine Staff Sgt. David Ries of Vancouver, WA, who was killed Nov. 8 in Iraq, pfc. Andrew Ward, of Kirkland, who was killed Dec. 5 in Iraq, Marine Lance Cpl. Nathan Wood, also of Kirkland, who was killed Nov. 9 in Iraq, or Pfc. Curtis Wooten III, of Spanaway, who was killed Jan 4 in Iraq.
...leading me to wonder again...
Why do Republicans hate the men and women who fight for America?
