Washington Governor Deadline
Daily Kos :: Breaking news - WA recount update - In the state of Washington, which is something like five miles away from me, the Governor's race currently has a margin of 42 votes, with the Republican in the lead. A hand recount can be held, where several ballots that are only examined in the case of a hand recount (which is ridiculous) likely benefit the Democrat.
However, they need to make a $750,000 deposit by close of business today in order for it to happen. They only have $500,000 so far. Otherwise, the Democrat will concede.
So if you'd rather have a Democrat hold the governorship in WA, make your donation through MoveOn, here.
Update: Correction, it's end of day Friday 12/3.
Update: Hey, they did it!
