Clark County, WASHINGTON in: great news for Dems.
15K ballots counted, & candidates broke nearly even: Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez got 18 more votes than Joe Kent.
She keeps lead of 5K votes in #WA03.
This matters bc it was a huge chunk of what's left.

Statewide page hasn't updated yet, so it's hard to know how many ballots are left, so I'll come back to this in a bit. But my VERY rough for nw estimate would be roughly 15K could be left? (Of which half would be in Pacific & Clark counties.) If so, Kent would need +33%.
#WA03 update: Yup, Clark has 5K left. Hard to exactly know for some others because they include more than WA03. But I'd still estimate ≈15K.
So: Kent must win what's left by ≈33%. (If Clark were to break even again, he'd need to win the rest by 50%...)
Nothing before MONDAY.

Thurston just (unexpectedly, I think?) counted 10K ballots. About 1.1K were within #WA03.
Kent won this batch by 30%, which nets him 338.
That's a very large margin.. but it's also a tad under the 33% I mentioned he needed upthread *districtwide.* And it's a very red area.

Update here to finish this thread, even as Seattle Times called it: I'd say roughly 13K ballots remain in #WA03. (5K in Clark County, 2.5K in Pacific. 2.3K in Cowlitz, roughly 11-12% of Thurston's 25K, and a bit more). Kent would need +35% (or +55% if Clark is even.) I mean...
