King County Elections says that it's taking longer this year to process returns this year - and here is why:
Poll results are expected to come in later this year. With new, accessible voting units, closing the polls will take longer.

Instead, poll results will be manually uploaded beginning around 10 p.m. and continue until 98-to-100 percent of polling places are reported online.Except that 10 PM has come and gone, and there is no new information available almost a half hour later.
