In one of the closest elections in recent memory, D.C. residents will have to wait weeks to learn who will be their Democratic nominee for an at-large council seat. But even then, nothing is guaranteed.

After a long primary night on Tuesday, incumbent Vincent Orange and challenger Sekou Biddle were separated in the unofficial count by just 543 votes, 21,237 to 20,694. Now it will take two weeks for provisional and absentee ballots to be tallied and the final results audited.
