A WA state Senate race heads to recount as counties certify results
Democrat Adrian Cortes narrowly defeated Republican Brad Benton on Tuesday in a closely-watched election for an open seat in the Washington state Senate.
But with only a 172-vote margin in results certified by Clark County, a machine recount will be required to confirm the outcome.
“I’m extraordinarily confident that we have secured a victory in this race,” Cortes said Tuesday. He said Benton phoned last week to concede and offer congratulations.
Tuesday marked the deadline for auditors in Washington’s 39 counties to certify their respective vote tallies.
