2. They are all absentees at this point.

Final Push usually goes slightly DEM. That's how Maria Cantwell won 4 years ago. (D Senator).

4. Ditto..what would blue state WA do with a Repub. governor?

Unless the eastern part of the state voted strictly republican, not sure how Rossi is having such a close run.

6. Washington Counties Still Being Counted

http://vote.wa.gov/general/status.aspx

As of today at 11:29AM PST there were only three counties that have no more votes to count. There are 81,165 more ballots to be counted statewide. This includes provisional ballots.

There is a move on to contact voters who mailed-in absentee ballots in King County but forgot to sign the envelope. The county is calling every one of those voters to go to the elections office to sign the envelope so their vote will count.

There is also a lawsuit by the state Democratic Party against King County that is asking that all provisional ballots be given due attention and that hundreds of them not be thrown away for technical reasons.
