But the votes are still coming in, correct. Here is the latest:

Governor

Jay Inslee (Prefers Democratic Party)
975,839 51.31%

Rob McKenna (Prefers Republican Party)
926,190 48.69%

Total Votes 1,902,029 100%

At this point, Inslee leads by over 50K votes. I don't know if this includes King County where the GOP/McKenna camp paid people to go and pick up ballots. McKenna may be whislting in the dark for Karl Rove. But Rove's math didn't elect Mitt Romney, either.
