It appears the answer is yes, much to the chagrin of Dino Rossi.

After three vote tallies and 58 days of waiting, Democrat Christine Gregoire was declared Washington's governor-elect on Thursday. But her Republican rival did not concede and wants a new election.

Secretary of State Sam Reed, a Republican, certified Gregoire, the three-term attorney general, as the winner of the closest governor's race in state history. She won a statewide hand recount by a scant 129 votes out of more than 2.8 million cast.

But Republican candidate Dino Rossi, a former state legislative leader and real-estate investor, said the election was hopelessly flawed and that the Legislature should authorize a new election. He won both of the earlier counts. [emphasis added]

Link.

The fact that Gregoire has been certified by a Republican Secretary of State -- by no means a partisan hatchetman for the Dems -- leads me to believe she actually won the election. The GOP needs to realize the American people are getting tired of them using technicalities to deny votes in order to win elections... we're just not going to stand for it any more.

Congrats Christine!
