Currently only about 200 votes separate the candidates – reminiscent of 133 vote margin in Washington’s 2004 governor’s race. Former Washington Democratic Party Chair Paul Berendt spoke by cell phone outside a ballot processing warehouse in Minneapolis. Paul Berendt: “What I bring to this effort is that I understand every single step of this recount process and the things that you need to look for in order to make sure that every vote is counted.” Also in Minnesota is one of the key Democratic attorneys from the 2004 governor’s contest. news.opb.org
