The state Republican Party presented more precise allegations yesterday of voter fraud and election irregularities, hoping to speed up the fact-finding portion of its legal challenge to Christine Gregoire's election as governor.
In a filing in Chelan County Superior Court, the GOP said preliminary comparisons of a statewide voter file obtained Saturday from the Secretary of State's Office and other databases showed:
* 437 provisional ballots were counted without first being verified.
* 37 felons who have not had the right to vote restored voted in the election.
* Nine dead people were credited with voting.
* 20 people in Washington who also voted in another state.
* 10 people voted twice.
