Elections not over in Washington
We're still counting the governor's race, and it's agonizingly close.
It's reassuring to know that my new state seems to actually care who wins, and has laws ensuring a recount of close elections, by hand if necessary. A few years ago I would have assumed most Americans would agree with idea that we should count all the votes and make sure we determine the winner correctly, but then, what do I know? I'm just a political scientist.
