 Sept. 30, 2005 King County Certifies 2005 Primary Election and prepares for a recount King County Elections this afternoon certified the 2005 Primary Election, counting 300,569 ballots. Certified results are now available online. There will be one recount. Though the difference between Candidates Schmidt and Fuda in the Sheriff’s race triggers an automatic manual recount, the candidates agreed late Friday afternoon to forgo a countywide manual recount and employ a little used statue allowing candidates to propose a mutually agreed upon alternative recount. That recount agreed upon will be a machine recount of 10 randomly selected precincts in each of the 17 legislative districts. The schedule for the recount is still being determined. Below is the information available as of today: Saturday, October 1 and Sunday October 2, 2005 Sorting of ballots Monday, October 3 – Thursday, October 4, 2005 Continued sort and recount |
