US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyKing County Judge Sean O'Donnell has won Washington's tightest state Supreme Court race after a week of counting.
He leads appeals court Judge Ian Birk by about 39,000 votes, or 1.4%, with under 100,000 ballots left to count. The race was the costliest of the year's Supreme Court contests, with O'Donnell raising $614,000 and Birk $643,000. Days before the vote, the state Public Disclosure Commission stopped enforcing donation limits, a move O'Donnell called shocking while voting was underway.
