The article explains Foster and Sweeny hold 70 votes together, King county seeks cross support to reach a majority, and candidates face bitter lines. With 69 needed for a majority, no senator can be elected without shifting votes from Foster or Sweeny or securing democratic help, while getting a 60 vote to power a win remains doubtful for Piles or Witwan.
