Washington state Governor’s race update – With over 2.8 million votes cast, the current spread between the candidates now stands at 13 votes.

A recount is expected (duh).

Update - Thanks to Dr. E who tipped me off on the latest:

Republican Dino Rossi's tiny lead over Democrat Christine Gregoire in the closest governor's race in Washington state history triggered an automatic recount Wednesday.Rossi held a 261-vote lead - out of 2.8 million ballots cast - after counties reported their final tallies to the state.

Whew! That's a close shave.
