Politics Primary Night

Posted by ELI SANDERS on September 19 at 20:00 PM

Welcome to primary night. Expecting early results at 8 p.m.? Pour another drink… This year, well, take it away King County:

Poll results are expected to come in later this year. With new, accessible voting units, closing the polls will take longer. In addition, new requirements mean the county will not modem results from King County’s 508 polling places. Instead, poll results will be manually uploaded beginning around 10 p.m. and continue until 98-to-100 percent of polling places are reported online.

I’m headed off Jamie Pedersen’s party, where I hear that the candidate with the boyish face and the goodie-two-shoes rep is, shockingly, baking cookies for his guests…

Predictions?

My Prediction: those cookies won't be nearly as "tastey" as the ones Dan tried to give Mayor Gridlock.

Could someone give me some rational reason why the Secretary of State's website lumps all of the candidates together in their totals - Democrat and Republican? In a partisan primary, this makes absolutely no sense at all.

I have a feeling that Alexander is going not pull this one off. So far Groen has not done as well as he needs to in red counties. Looking good.

Looks like the Sec's office has fixed the pages so the total by party. I kind of liked it the other way. More like a real election.

Okanogan County has

Groen 1,458 - 51.32%

Alexander 1,366 - 48.08%

Clark has Alexander up 54 to 46 with about 40k votes counted. Looks like we get to keep our CJ and the BIAW just blew 2 million bucks. Losers

Benton which gave Rossi 70% is only giving Groen 55 with over 11k votes counted. Thats about 1/7 of the total cast in 2004. Looks like Groen may be finished.

The fact that Michael Johnson has been 4-6% ahead of the other nobodies in the race is pretty interesting. this whole race tells me that about 30% of people simply vote randomly for judges and another 4-6% can't tell to people apart. Go figure.

My favorite candidates never win in Eastern Washington. Except for Susan Owens.
