According to The Wenatchee World, the opening hearing of the case to determine whether the election for governor should be set aside and a new election ordered opened without much excitement. The hearing had been moved to the Chelan County Auditorium to accommodate the throng of spectators that had apparently been anticipated. The World reported that, at most, 60 people attended. The reporters from all sorts of newspapers around the state and television reporters from at least four stations also were present. I heard, but did not confirm, that former state Sen. Dino Rossi, also the former governor-elect, was in Wenatchee, but I doubt he attended the hearing; he peobably just met with some supporters.
The World indicated that a full report would be in Friday's paper because of a morning press deadline. KING-TV reported that a follow-up hearing would be in two weeks.
And so we wait.
