Candidates and others can also request recounts. It would cost them something like $40K in this race for a machine recount, based on the rules and number of ballots.

This would impose a new limitation and force changes in states like Washington, where mail-in ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, but can be delivered by the post office after Election Day #WAelex

Claudia Balducci has conceded to Girmay Zahilay in the King County Executive race. #waelex
With most ballots in, it is clear my colleague Girmay Zahilay has been elected as the next Exec. I called to congratulate and wish him all the best as he begins to transition into this important role. The success of KC depends on his success as Exec, and as a continuing CM I am committed to both.
