Wow. Six votes. That really drives home the reality of "every vote counts"!

When all recounts were over and done with in Washington's 2004 Governor's election, Christine Gregoire was declared the winner by just 129 votes...and that's a STATE election, not just local. THAT was really an example of how every vote counts...and counts and counts.

Washington embraces female candidates, too...our governor and both senators are women.
