Answer

The 2000 Washington gubernatorial election between Democrat Christine Gregoire and Republican Dino Rossi was extraordinarily close. The initial vote count showed a narrow margin in favor of Rossi, but a recount resulted in Gregoire winning by only 129 votes out of over 2.8 million cast, making it one of the closest elections in state history.
