Time for Seattle, King County, and Washington to follow suit

You love to see it

MLKC voters answered the call! 2025 Seattle turnout soars to nearly 55%, while King County approaches forecasted 45% A significant percentage of voters in Washington State's largest county answered the call to get their ballots in, more than doubling voter turnout in the span of just a few hours.

Commie Trump

The right wing echo chamber is strong. But eventually, cracks form and reality seeps in. Just a little.

Headline: "Can WA Republicans regain the Eastside Senate seat lost in Trump era?" The answer is NO. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

How many people in Seattle and King County voted late? Answer: A LOT!!!! King County Elections updated their turnout statistics and countywide turnout improved to 40%, while Seattle turnout surpassed 50%. Only 27%+ of Seattle ballots have been tabulated in these first two days. So... stay tuned.

Said by a man who just moments ago told Americans he’d ignore a court order to feed people. A totally unserious person spreading false information in a desperate attempt to cope with his failures.

Why do you pay Ross Douthat to write this nonsense?

All year we've had "Dems in Disarray" stuff from @nytimes.com et al, and now we've got: "Republicans were left reeling on Wednesday after voters swung decisively against them, setting off fears that President Trump and his low approval ratings would again drag down the party’s midterm candidates."

Quite so

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Join us, the atmosphere's fine!

Good analysis here. Also note that Seattle turnout as of the first count is a mere 23.36%. That's less than in 2021. Ballots Counted So Far: 118,043 Registered Voters in Seattle: 505,393 #seaelex #waelex Seattle ballots counted as of Election Night 2021 (when the electorate was smaller): 131,486
