Comments on The Burner-Reichert Race

The King County web site has Burner ahead with 727 of 745 precincts reporting.

See for yourself here:

The 8th district spans King and Pierce county, and each county only reports their precincts. For the combined totals, see the Secretary of State's website.

Thanks John. Damn, I was pretty psyched for a few minutes!

Eli, your current vote percentages add up to 101%.

Darcy was always ahead in King, it's the 8 point drop in Pierce that's killing her.

There are a TON of votes in King County still to be counted. The next count is slated for 6pm tonite. This is far from over.

Pierce County huh? Looks like Burner was done in by the "Gun Rack" demographic.

See, therein lies Darcy's peril: she did not connect with the taxicab-driver-stabbing, meth-smoking, pickpocketing, underpaid undereducated and overaddicted masses down in Pierce County. She'll likely win King County, but the Caucasian Garbage down South wants Sherriff Reichert, or as they call him, Shareof Rikurt.

Damn site lag. Somebody with SlogWebPowers please undo 2 of my last 3 posts, plz.

What's with the excruciatingly slow reporting? Do they count the ballots by hand or something? Is there a problem?

Better yet, delete all three copies of that horseshit.

I read that it is taking so long with the count because of the whole Gubinetorial mess. They are checking the signatures as they count the votes or something like that.

I surely hope that Burner can defeat Congressman Hairdo. That guy is a tool.

Eli, I know you love you some Darcy Burner, but to compare her performance with Dave Ross's in an election year when Republicans are getting hammered is hardly valid. Had Dave Ross ran, he'd have obliterated Reichert. Instead, the Democrats ran an inexperienced candidate with military creds in a district that doesn't really care about that.

Eli, I'm not ready to call this either, but you might consider the breakdown of the votes and respective margins in the Pierce and King County portions of the district. And consider how much better Burner will have to do in the remaining uncounted ballots than she did in the ballots counted so far.
See my analysis at the link in my signature

I just did some (incredibly imprecise) back of the napkin math, and it looks to me like Darcy needs 51.2% of the remaining King County vote, and sad to say, I don't think that's very damn likely. The one spot of gloom in my mood is that Darcy likely won't make it....but no amount of hoping conquers a 2700 vote deficit, not enough ballots left to count, and a win margin that we haven't seen from her in any ballot batch yet....

Wednesday evening numbers are in. Looking better for Reichert
