OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The Washington Supreme Court has rejected the petition from the Democratic Party to include previously disqualified ballots in the recount.
Today's decision was unanimous by all eight justices who heard yesterday's arguments in Olympia.

The decision involves about three-thousand ballots that could have changed the race for governor.

Democrats said the ballots should not have been excluded because counties use different standards for disqualifying ballots.

Republicans said it would be wrong to change the rules at this point.

The recount will include only ballots originally counted.

GAWD DAMNIT!!!!!
