Day 3 of the vote counting in the Aug. 1 primary for Sammamish City Council and the 45th Legislative District State Senate races continue to show fractional changes in the percentages for each candidate.

In the very close Position 3 City Council primary, the percentages narrowed again slightly–but Minal Ghassemieh lost ground slightly in the actual vote count.

She ended primary night 229 votes behind Karen Howe, who is second to Karen Moran. Yesterday, Ghassemieh trailed Howe by 250 votes. Today, she trails by 256 votes.

Moran continues to widen her lead over Howe in votes counted.
