In Washington state, Senator-turned-President Elect Barack Obama emerged the clear victor-though some of the state's other political races are still being debated. More than 83 percent of the state's 3.6 million registered voters likely voted, said Secretary of State Sam Reed in a post-election rap up in The Seattle Times.Though a clear call had yet to be made, it appears once again that Democrat incumbent Governor Christine Gregoire beat Republican Dino Rossi by an extremely narrow margin: in 2004, she won by only 133 votes, out of more than 2.8 million cast. Rossi conceded defeat to Gregoire at noon on Nov. 5. In the Congressional race, Democrat Darcy Burner and Republican incumbent Dave Reichert appear to be locked in a dead heat, with each currently holding 50 percent of the vote.
