JOHN FUND HAS MORE on the troubled Washington State governor’s race, where those pesky new ballots just keep turning up. “Three Washington counties just discovered 110 uncounted absentee ballots–including 94 from Seattle’s King County–in a governor’s race that occurred more than five months ago and was decided by only 129 votes. Officials in Seattle’s King County admit they may find yet more ballots before a court hearing next month on whether a new election should be called. Last Friday, they reported finding a 111th ballot.”

UPDATE: Brendan Loy observes:

It’s April.

Indeed.
