[freeplessinseattle]

2. cool! can my day get any better?? n/t

[BlueManDude]

3. almost 1000 votes is a decent spread

when you consider how close the tester and webb races were and the amount of votes cast.

what happens next?

[uppityperson]

4. wow. thank you for that. What is next?

[fortyfeetunder]

5. This is for both King/Pierce Counties?

If so:

:bounce: :party: :toast:

[nannah]

6. her lead is likely to increase

as the rest of the votes come from King County and their votes on progressive issues, like I-933; the estate tax initiative; and the alternatve energy initiate gave wider margins of victory than the pierce county voters. also her early results from king county were strong.

the vote delay was due to flooding which was in King County.

[Ediacara]

Here is information from the SoS's website regarding recounts:

Let's hope this thing flips again in Darcy's favor.

12. In your earlier post you said 100% of the precincts in and now you are

saying the numbers have changed. I must have missed something. Not attacking you, but having a hard time finding the honest results.

[SeattleGirl]

15. I know. I was repeating what the TV news was saying.

Sorry about that. You didn't miss anything; I think the TV station got ahead of themselves, not with the numbers they reported around 6:00 pm, but in saying that all the precincts had reported.

[bahrbearian]

20. Lets Hope !

[rhett o rick]

10. Good news, but where did you get this? I can't find it anywhere. The

Seattle PI projects Reichert the winner as of 7:00 pm.

[SeattleGirl]

11. It's from the Secretary of State's web site. n/t

[rhett o rick]

13. Thanks for keeping us posted. Darcy made a good showing one

way or other.

[SeattleGirl]

14. I agree that she did well.

I was really hoping she could pull it off.

[WA98296]

16. Ballots ARE STILL arriving. They had to be postmarked by Tuesday.

[SeattleGirl]

17. That's true. I was thinking about that after I saw the change in

numbers last night, when Reichert pulled ahead again.

[bahrbearian]

18. Trying to do my best Howard Dean,,,,YeeeHaaaw !

Darcy Burner Democrat 81593 50.1981%
Dave Reichert Republican 80949 49.8019%

[cnlst8]

23. slowest counters in the U.S. update 11/13

11/13 CNN reporting (CNN probably stop updating their site)

75% of precincts reporting

Reichert(R) 98,709 51%
Burner(D) 95,195 49%

Remember over 300k ppl voted in this district in 2004.

[uppityperson]
