For the first time in Kitsap County history, there will be a woman in the county prosecutor’s office as Republican Tina Robinson defeated 20-year Democratic incumbent Russ Hauge in the latest results from the November general election.

The topsy-turvy tussle for the post continued Saturday as a new vote count put Robinson back on top over incumbent Democrat Russ Hauge. Robinson regained the lead and was in front of Hauge by 793 votes on Saturday.

In Saturday’s latest vote tally, Robinson had 50.4 percent of the vote, while Hauge had 49.4 percent.

The vote count is 40,843 votes for Robinson, and 39,972 for Hauge — as of 5 p.m. Monday.

The Election Division reported that about 50 ballots were left to count. The next update is 5 p.m. today, Nov. 14.

Hauge led in the first vote tally on Election Day, but a revised vote count on Wednesday put Robinson ahead by 32 votes. Hauge jumped back in front in Thursday’s vote tally with a 468-vote lead.

On Friday, the gap between the two narrowed as Robinson pulled to within 113 votes.

Automatic recounts happen when the candidates finish within a half-percentage point of each other. The results will be made official on Nov. 25.
