The problem is WA state is bipolar. The eastern half of the state is red and the western half is blue. However, even in King County, home of Seattle, there are lots of conservatives. Consequently, every major race in the past ten years....governor and senator....has led to a vote recount......that's how close the votes have been. Each time the Dem has won but barely. Having said that, there is this news: "2) Speaking of likely voters: Turnout is on track for record off-year numbers in King County. The watermark off-year election was 2006 when King County turnout was 635,753. (Turnout hit a record 930,000 in 2008.) King County has already received over 300,000 ballots, compared to 196,000 at the same point in the runup to election day in 2009 when 574,000 people cast ballots. If these numbers continue, turnout could hit 750,000 out of the 1.1 million registered voters." publicola.net
