Judge Rules In Favor of Gregoire

Judge John Bridges of Chelan County Superior Court just finished reading his ruling on last year's governor's election. He ruled against the Republicans, saying that for him to overturn the election based on proportional analysis, without proof of fraud, would be "the ultimate act of judicial activism."

Sound Politics, Stefan Sharkansky's blog, will soon have something to entertainingly polemical to say, we'll bet.

Both the P-I and Times will soon post stories about this on their home pages.

The Republicans have promised that if the decision went against them, they would appeal to the State Supreme Court, so this case, which has already dragged on longer than Bush v. Gore, may drag on longer than State of California v. Simpson.
