Things may be tightening up:

HD 63 Open Seat . . . REPUBLICAN PICK-UP
HD 68 Bischoff (D) . . . Ds are ahead with a few votes outstanding

HD 75 Avery (D) . . . Ds HOLD
Held by Rs
HD 15 Lehe (R) . . . Ds thought they had a shot in rematch, Rs are leading.
HD 31 Harris (R) . . . Ds had this as a top target and maintain a decent lead in early numbers, but delayed Grant County numbers will be the key.
HD 33 Davis (R) . . . Rs HOLD
HD 44 Thomas (R) . . . DEMOCRATIC PICK-UP
HD 45 Borders (R) . . . Ds put a lot of $$ in here, and in the last week, but Republicans have regained the lead.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
