ELECTION 2020: Primary results, round 1

8:11 PM: The voting is over and the ballot-counting has begun. King County’s first results are here; statewide results are here. Highlights shortly!

NUMBERS UPDATED AT 9 PM: In Congressional District 7 – which includes West Seattle – incumbent Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D) leads with 80 percent; second is Craig Keller (R) with 8 percent.

For Governor, incumbent Jay Inslee (D) leads a 36-candidate field with 52 percent, Loren Culp (R) is second with 17 percent.

For Lieutenant Governor (no incumbent), the 11-candidate field is led by Denny Heck (D) with 28 percent and Marko Liias (D) with 17 percent.

For Secretary of State, incumbent Kim Wyman (R) has 50 percent, with Gael Tarleton (D) in second at 45 percent.

While both local (34th District) State House Reps. – Eileen Cody and Joe Fitzgibbon – are running for re-election, neither has an opponent.

Other statewide results are linked here. We’ll update those above (King County results won’t update again until tomorrow, but the statewide results will, with other counties’ tallies).

It looks to me like Gael is ahead and Kim is a close second. I think you have it backwards in your comment.

I haven’t updated yet today (note the last-night time check). The state results continued evolving into the night. Will do a morning update as soon as I can.

No, Wyman still leads, 50 percent, to 45 percent for Tarleton. Maybe you’re looking at the King County-only results? These (as linked above) are the statewide results:
