The votes above for State Representative only include Whitman County. The 9th District encompasses all or part of six counties.

The combined results for 9th District State Representative Position #1 are as follows as of 9:14 PM:

Interestingly, the Whitman County ballots do not appear to be counted on this total yet. Joe Schmick carried Whitman County handily, but the difference as of yet is not enough to counter Steve Hailey's 1100 vote lead.
