From Times Wire Reports
Republican Dino Rossi was certified in Olympia as governor-elect but the closest gubernatorial race in state history is far from over.
Secretary of State Sam Reed certified Rossi’s 42-vote victory over Democrat Christine Gregoire. On Friday, Democrats are expected to request a hand recount of all or part of the 2.8 million ballots cast, and the Republicans may weigh in as well. The uncertainty could last until Christmas.
