Hooray! Senator Murray is increasing her lead over Dino Rossi!
http://vote.wa.gov/Elections/WEI/Results.aspx?RaceTypeCode=O&JurisdictionTypeID=1&ElectionID=37&ViewMode=Results
51.5% to 48.5%, almost 52,000 votes!
Never thought that by moving from California to Maine I’d end up in a Deep Red State. Governor – Both Houses of the Legislature – Both US Senators – not sure how we still have 2 Dem US Reps though. Of course it “helps” when the winning Governor candidate only needed to get 38% of the vote to prevail. Maybe its time to have a run-off system…I’d like the instant run-off method…but any system that requires 50% (heck I’d even settle for 45% of the vote) for election is better than what we have now.
David K #1 – as of now, it’s down to less than 50K votes … seems to be a shifting target …
Yes, it looks like more results came in, however the bulk of the remaining votes are in King County where she has been getting 60% of the vote. Barring an unprecedented occurence where an overwhelming number of the remaining votes broke Rossi’s way, its only a matter of time before she is officially declared the winner.
Sorry that should be 60%+ of the vote. Today’s totals were almost 70% in favor of Murray.
And there it is! Senator Murray Re-elected!
