This is a LIVE THREAD for discussion of the impending certification of final results in the Washington State Governor's race, between Dino Rossi (R) and Christine Gregoire (D).
The Secretary of State is required to certify the final results this evening. As of 4:28 P.M. PST, Gregoire leads by 29 votes with 2521 votes from 4 or 5 counties left to be reported. King County (the Dem's stronghold) has apparently made its final report.
Washington State law requires a machine recount if the certified results show a difference of less than 2000, which now seems almost certain. It also requires a manual recount if the difference is less than 150 votes. A machine recount is estimated to take a week, a hand recount a month or more.
If the final result were a tie, the winner would be decided by lot.

They can usually identify the military ballots as the postage has been paid by the State. All other absentees require that the voter pay the postage.

"I just got the very last about what John Carlson was saying about an extra 1,000 votes from King County 'showing up' this afternoon - did you hear anything about that?
I haven't heard that, but the final KC vote is already in.

I don't think so. King had 1,450 votes to be counted all day until they reported. Web site shows King fully reported.

Obviously we all hope more than 150 votes for Rossi. But we have to be not so optimistic. Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed.
