Washington State: Rossi expects a trial within a month
AP reports: Dino Rossi was almost ready to throw in the towel, the Republican candidate for governor told reporters at a Monday news conference.
If a judge had ruled last Friday that Rossi's legal challenge to Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire's election had to go through the Legislature and not the courts, Rossi said he might have given up.
But the judge ruled the Republican's case could proceed. On Monday, Rossi said he hopes his election challenge will go to trial within a month. ...
Democrats said the Republican's election challenge probably will take longer than that, quoting a December letter from Rossi saying an election challenge could stretch for months and would cause the state to suffer through a long process. -- Rossi hopes for speed in vote challenge - The Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon, USA
