2,148 Extra Ballots
There is a good post at soundpolitics that shows how fishy the recounts were that gave Gregoire the Washington governorship. The fact that thousands of ballots (including several hundred that only came into existence after the first recount) were counted that do not correlate to voters should by itself be enough to call for a new election. All of those people who complained about Florida in 2000 seem awfully quiet about this obvious case of election fraud. These reforms would help.
Here is Sharanksky's conclusion to the post, "Conclusion: The election was stolen by somebody, we'll probably never know who. But there's a lot that King County Elections could have done to prevent or at least detect and report what was probably distributed fraud. Dean Logan has a lot of explaining to do why his office failed to protect the integrity of the election. Especially, I think, when it comes to explaining the 2,000 or so voterless ballots and among them the 395 brand new ballots that materialized out of thin air in the recounts. Isn't there a binder with precinct-by-precinct reconciliation reports that they're stonewalling us on? Hello? Hello?"
