Approximately 140,000 ballots left to count. Those will not all be in tomorrow’s drop - counting will continue in earnest through early next week and then slow to a trickle through certification.

Another interesting takeaway: Nikkita Oliver won today's drop. At this rate, Oliver won't surpass Sara Nelson in the primary, but the margin should continue to tighten. Bodes well for November.
