New numbers released in Spokane County

Spokane County elections officials have released the latest tallies from the state primary, and it would seem that Republicans are more likely to vote closer to election day than Democrats.

Dino Rossi overtook Chris Gregoire in the Spokane County returns (Gregoire still leads statewide). To see a state map of their vote percentages, click here.

State Rep. John Ahern put a bit more distance between himself and Democratic challenger John Driscoll in the 6th District.

County Commissioners Todd Mielke and Mark Richard also have a bit more breathing room against challengers Kim Thorburn and Brian Sayrs.

There were no changes for winners or losers.

Here's a link to the complete list...including the precinct committee officer contests.
