She anticipates that this election may require the same or even longer time. "Some districts are very competitive, especially in places like my home state of Washington, where mail-in ballots are still being received, the results may take longer to be revealed," DelBene explained.It is worth noting that in 2022, the Republicans won control of the House by a narrow margin of about 6,675 votes, a result that came from the five closest districts. In some of these districts, the margin of victory was even less than 1,000 votes.
