After the final ballot counts of election week on the evening of Nov. 6, mayoral candidate and Greenwood resident Mike McGinn has increased his lead over opponent Joe Mallahan to the point where a recount would not be legally required.

New tallies from the Nov. 3 general election show McGinn with 50.31 percent of the vote to Mallahan's 48.91 percent – a lead of 2,384 votes and 1.41 percent.

In order for a recount to be legally required, the difference between the candidates has to be less than 2,000 votes and less than 0.5 percent.

Approve Referendum 71 is leading 52.56 percent to 47.36 percent and seems certain to pass.

Ballard resident Jessie Israel has conceded the Seattle City Council Position 6 race to incumbent Nick Licata.

Dow Constantine declared himself the winner in the King Count Executive race after the Nov. 3 returns. His lead has increased since then.

Incumbent City Attorney Tom Carr conceded victory to opponent Pete Holmes after the initial results.

Tim Eyman's Initiative 1033, which would limit state spending has been defeated.

The next round of numbers will be released at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 9. New counts will be released at 4:30 p.m. every weekday until the election results are certified Nov. 24.
