"In races where the top two candidates receive a combined total of more than 60,000 votes, a manual (hand) recount is required when the difference between the two is less than 150 votes. In races with fewer than 60,000 votes, a manual recount is triggered by a difference of less than one-quarter of one percent."
Buys/Linville are at 59561 total votes tonight with 1900 noted as left to count. This means if Linville narrows the lead by 161 votes in this next count there will be a manual (hand) recount. I'm trying to understand the electoral dynamics that lets Charlie Wiggins almost catch Richard Sanders in Whatcom (actually Wiggins will apparently win statewide now), but has kept Jean Melious consistently 10 percentage points or more behind in a race where all the liberals/progressives/Democrats have consistently narrowed the gap or taken the lead almost immediately after the initial count in "all county" votes.
