There are about 135,000 absentee ballots from King County (the Soviet of Seattle) and those are being counted now. There are, apparently, about another 120,000 absentee ballots from other parts of the state. WA breaks politically, socially and to some degree economically on the Cascade Mountains which run N/S about 90 miles east of Seattle. Eastern WA goes heavy Rep. Western WA goes heavy Dem. The issue is where those other 120K ballots come from. Wish us luck.
You can count on 5 absentee votes for Rossi in King County. My whole family here and at least 1 coworker voted for him.
