The Senate race between Democrat Senator Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi is still too close to call given that Washington State votes mostly by mail. This one could drag on for several days, maybe even longer. Depending on the outcome of other Senate races throughout the country, control of the Senate may end up depending on how this one turns out. Even if there's no doubt that Democrats will retain a majority, it will be close enough to even that one seat will still make a big difference.
I believe Dino Rossi had the 2004 gubernatorial election flat out stolen by the Democrats. When he lost again in 2008 it was by a larger margin though I suspect there was still fraud. I can't say whether it made the difference that time but I'm certainly not ruling it out completely.
Given the importance of this election and this particular race, I expect Democrats to pull out all the stops in an effort to ensure Murray returns to the Senate. Let's hope that any shenanigans that do take place are uncovered in a timely manner.
