It's the final phase of a rematch four years in the making, set up by Gregoire's 133-vote 2004 win, which followed three vote counts and an unsuccessful Republican court challenge.
Unofficial returns in Tuesday's primary showed Gregoire with a lead - but not by much. With about 37 percent of the ballots counted, Gregoire had 381,250 votes, or 49 percent of the vote to Rossi's 349,269 votes, or 45 percent.
Under Washington's new primary system, Gregoire and Rossi, easily the top two vote-getters, will be the only two gubernatorial candidates listed on the ballot in November."
