That's with just over half of the absentee/early ballots counted today. The Divisions of Elections is saying they'll have the rest counted in the next week. By law, the have to be done by Nov. 19. After that, a recount is about certain.
Trivia question: what happens if it's a tie? (Hint: this actually happened in a legislative race in 2006)
UPDATE: Begich's lead is now up to 814 votes. Thanks to Liz Villareal for paying attention.

In a tie the state pays for the recount. if it's not a tie, the contester pays. Boo Ya.
Hmm ... that's not what I was looking for exactly, and I'm pretty sure that's not even true.
What I'm wondering, grasshopper, is how a winner is decided in a tied race.
