6. Please change spelling to Murray
I think they will count carefully and accurately, especially since both sides have lawyers in waiting in case it's close.
And we've been through very close ones here before.

King County had record turnout. They expected record turnout (well, mail-in) of 68%. Newest estimates are at 70%.

And there will be plenty of ballots to tally. In King County, election officials now predict voter turnout in the county will reach at least 70 percent when all votes have been tabulated, or roughly 800,000 ballots. So far, the state's most populous county counted 375,000 votes on Election Day, and plan to release about another 45,000 ballot results Wednesday afternoon. County elections director Sherill Huff says it takes a day and a half to process ballots and the country tried to process as many as it could on Tuesday, which resulted in a smaller number that were to be ready on Wednesday evening. They estimate it may take until the end of the week to get the most of the ballots tabulated.

Since yesterday was the deadline for a postmark, this will take awhile to count ballots as they arrive.



Murray will win.
