...for anyone to not exercise their constitutional right to vote in this county. Close elections like the 2000 presidential race and the 2004 Washington State governor's race only reinforce how essential each and every vote is, no matter which candidate is favored.

Those that vote have every right to complain about what their government does and doesn't do. Those that fail to vote may still retain that right, but have no credibility for what they complain about.

I would hope that those who voted for Mr. Rossi pay close attention and speak their minds as Ms. Gregoire starts her term, just as I would hope that those who voted for Gregoire would do the same should the final result be different.
