Democrat declared Washington governor-elect

Christine Gregoire was certified the winner in Washington's gubernatorial race today after a hand recount of ballots put her ahead of Republican opponent Dino Rossi. Rossi is now calling for a revote.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a handy timeline of events in the Washington governor's race if you need a recap of the events from the last two months.

Throughout the process, Republican Secretary of State Sam Reed has been a model for how the office is supposed to function. Compare that to the blatent partisan actions of Florida's Katherine Harris in 2000 and Ohio's Ken Blackwell in 2004, both of whom also served as co-chairs for the Bush/Cheney campaign while supposedly presiding over an election process in a non-partisan fashion.
