As votes continue to be counted in the Washington state primary, some races remain incredibly close. With some coming down to only a couple hundred votes, the Secretary of State’s Office is getting ready for the possibility of doing a recount.for elections happens automatically when a race is within a 0.5% margin; a machine recount is done to double-check the number.
Holmes said they were particularly looking at the 3rd House District race between Jaime Herrera Beutler and Joe Kent, in which Kent has recently overtaken Beutler for the second place slot and a chance to face Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in the general election in November.“So, right now, we are keeping a close eye here on congressional district three,” Holmes said. “We also have a fairly tight race in legislative district 47 here at the state level.
Any candidate or registered voter can request a recount in any election, even if it does not meet the half a percent threshold that makes it mandatory. They do have to pay the cost of running the recount though, with 25 cents per ballot in a hand recount and 15 cents per ballot in a machine recount.“There have been in the past times where there’s a vote here or a vote there, but it’s within a very small margin in which vote totals we will change it all.
