We'll have election night coverage aplenty for you this evening at Sound Politics. Stefan will be in Bellevue at the Reichert/McGavick gathering. He'll be blogging on the contest in the 8th Congressional District between incumbent Republican Dave Reichert and Democrat challenger Darcy Burner; on conservative challenger Stephen Johnson's bid to unseat incumbent Susan Owens from the Washington Supreme Court; and on key state legislative races. Stefan will also be providing on-site news coverage from Bellevue of Republican Mike McGavick's challenge to incumbent U.S. Senator and Democrat Maria Cantwell.

Eric will be providing trenchant analysis of the McGavick/Cantwell contest. He'll also report on Republican incumbent Cathy McMorris's defense of her seat in the 5th Congressional District against Democrat challenger Peter Goldmark; and he'll track broader national developments in today's mid-term elections for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate.

I'll be following referendums and ballot initiatives in Seattle, King County, statewide; and as time permits, across the nation.

There'll be a goodly number of posts up tonight, many of them updated as necessary. We hope you'll join us; and feel free, as always, to add insightful, civil comments.
