Some Recount Updates

In Wyoming, tomorrow is the deadline for the official certification of the vote. In the unofficial count, Republican Barbara Cubin leads Democrat Gary Trauner by 970 votes. If, in the canvassing of the votes for certification Trauner picks up just 38 votes, an automatic recount kicks in. If those 38 votes aren't found, he is unlikely to ask for a recount. Given potential problems with voting machines and absentee ballots, Democrats believe it is likely that Trauner will pick up the necessary 38 votes.

In Washington's 8th District, Democrat Darcy Burner trails by only a few hundred votes, with literally thousands of votes, mostly from Democratic-leaning areas, yet to be counted. As Daniel Kirkdorffer notes, there's miles to go before this one is over, but there's definitely hope for Burner.
