Rossi made the comments after releasing a 476 page transcript of the deposition of King County Elections Director Dean Logan.

Rossi says the transcript includes troubling facts about the handling of ballots prior to the election and the tabulation in error of as many as 660 provisional ballots.

He told KOMO 4 News: "It's becoming clear now why all the information we have received from King County has been nothing more than gibberish."

On page 225 of the deposition, Logan says he doesn't know whether King County vote totals were accurate to 129 votes -- the margin by which Christine Gregoire was elected.

Rossi's reaction: "There is such a mountain of evidence that the courts are really going to have to strain their necks not to do something about this and we think something will be done about this."

But King County officials insist there was no fraud; nothing unusual about what happened in King County.

Executive Ron Sims says the errors across the state are larger than those alleged in King County.

He pooh-poohed the Republican arguments: "They have a public relations campaign that it designed to chip the judge one way or another. I believe we have a judge that will be oblivious to this, quite frankly."

The elections office had no comment, explaining they were too busy Tuesday. They are running a levy election for Valley General Hospital. They are also trying out new techniques to ensure every vote is counted.

In another development involving elections, the Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance told a Seattle City Club meeting that next month the Republican, Democrat, and Libertarian parties will join to challenge the state interpretation of an initiative establishing a primary in which the top two vote getters advance to the general election.

The parties will ask the court to rule that the parties have the right to choose party candidates. They say the result will either be political party nominating conventions or a return to primaries in which voters must choose a party ballot.
