WA-08: Burner doesn't give up hope

I know the election is old news to many of you.  But there is still one race left to be decided.  In Washington state's 8th District, only 63% of the ballots have been counted.  Democrat Darcy Burner trails incumbent Republican Dave Reichert by 3,120 votes.  This race is far from over.

According to Zach Silk, Burner's campaign manager, it is not their goal to stretch this out into a long court battle:

"In no way do we want to drag this out," he said. "If the numbers bear it out, we may make that decision."

Mike Britt, Reichert's campaign manager, said he had talked with GOPlawyers about the possibility of a recount, but the campaign had notbegun fundraising.

Burner still thinks she has a shot to win.  About 50,000 more absentee ballots that still have not been counted are from King County, an area that is more progressive than rural Pierce County.

WA-08 is just one of eight races nationwide that are still undecided.
