Gluesenkamp Perez held the lead late Tuesday night, but tens of thousands of ballots remained to be counted in Clark and Cowlitz counties.
VANCOUVER, Wash. — In additional results posted Wednesday night, Democratic Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez kept her slim lead of about 12,000 votes over Republican Joe Kent in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District.
As of Wednesday afternoon, election officials estimated that some 100,000 ballots remained uncounted in the 3rd District, including at least 70,000 in Clark County alone and another 20,000 in Cowlitz County. Not all of those outstanding ballots were processed by the evening’s results drop.
