Gluesenkamp Perez keeps lead in key congressional race in Washington
Democratic U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez continued to lead Republican Joe Kent Wednesday in one of a handful of congressional races nationwide yet to be called.
Gluesenkamp Perez, who is seeking a second term representing the 3rd Congressional District, led Kent 51.7% to 48% with Wednesday’s tally of votes.
“Still too early to call, lots of ballots remain,” Kent said in a social media post earlier on Wednesday. He urged voters to check the status of their ballots to ensure their vote was counted.
The congresswoman expressed the same sentiment in a statement Tuesday night.

That's over 12k votes for her opponent to make up (169k vs 157k), with 80% of the vote already counted. So of the approximately 60k votes yet to count (ie, 20% of the 300k votes already cast), he'd need to win about 60% of them to make up the deficit (36k to 24k). Which is not likely, so it's looking good here.
