I’ve been following the recount of the governor’s race in Washington and tonight it looks like the Democratic candidate will pull out a win after a month of recounts. Of course, the Republicans are not ready to concede defeat. It’s kind of funny to hear GOPers suddenly clamoring for every vote to be counted. I’m happy someone from my team won, but this is also further evidence that our election system still needs a lot of fine-tuning. There is still too much potential for voters to become disenfranchised because of human error. We can probably never make the system perfect (at least not until the machines take over), but there’s still vast room for improvement.
