Kerry should have waited on vote count

I don’t understand why John Kerry gave up so early because there are literally millions of votes yet to be counted. What happens if the final count shows Kerry did get more votes to change the Electoral College or the popular vote? We need to give this process more time to get true official answers.

We need to take up a collection for Tim Eyman so we can send him to some other state and leave us alone. Sure, taxes are high, but he’s trying to cut everything, which leaves the whole state without money to run on. We all suffer then. Plus all money raised goes to the general fund and never goes to the special fund he earmarks so he can get people to vote yes. I will never vote for any of his poorly thought-out proposals.
