State Senate race down to the wire
The race for state senator in the 41st District has narrowed significantly. The lead enjoyed earlier by Republican Steve Litzow, of Mercer Island, fell again Monday evening to just 299 votes. The incumbent, Randy Gordon a Democrat of Bellevue, appointed to the post in January, has gained more votes at each count.
As of 4:30 p.m. Monday 57,500 votes had been counted in the race. According to County Elections communications specialist Katie Gilliam, about five percent of the votes cast remained to be counted as of Tuesday at Reporter press time.
With the vote so close, King County Republicans began over the weekend to organize an effort to help validate voter signatures. An e-mail by King County Republican Chair Lori Sotelo was sent to gather volunteers for the final voter tabulation.
