Washington Gubernatorial Race Finally Over?

Washington state Democrats seem to think so. They are touting an 8 vote victory for Christine Gregoire over Republican Dino Rossi. Considering Gregoire lost the first two counts (the initial count by 261 votes, and the original machine recount by 42) this would be a pretty amazing story. It would also prove once again that something seriously needs to be done about our voting process and machines. We can't keep having hand recounts after every election.
