Yes, Annie. Let's make sure we correct "about 26% to it's proper about 27%.

What about people like me who voted by mail and then went to bars where people were voting in bars?

And were neither stoned nor drunk while actually voting?

Wish I was swifter on the uptake at Piecora's when attractive women make a point of exchanging names ... I am so slow sometimes.

Girl, here's my take on it. The liberals in this town only vote when major candidates are up for election (i.e. important elections, like next year). When they aren't, the senior citizens do all the voting, and they tend to vote Republican.

I had a guy fuck me up the ass while I was doing my ballot this weekend and then mailed it in.

Cool, brings new word to "male" ballot, @4.

Up here in SnoCo, all voting is by mail. 28.7% ballots were returned, Democrats won decisively in three county-wide races, and NP candidates favored by Democrats also did well.

@4

Was he still fucking you up the ass while you mailed it in? Or, when he was done fucking you up the ass, did he [politely] mail it in for you?

Brings new meaning to the phrase "brown stamps".

You all realize that there are still a lot of uncounted ballots that have been received. And that based on those numbers , turnout is going to be more like 47% in King and 49% in Snohomish county, right?

And that these numbers are pretty close to the statewide turnout of 48%?

SPEAKING OF CHECKING THE NUMBERS...

Check the outcomes of 960 and 4204 again!!!

And that the tipoff should have been that if both of the links you present were accurate, exactly 21 people went to the polls in King county?

Hence "currently" and "and counting." And I should add, the absentee and vote counts are updated at different times.

*sigh of relief*

Thank you, Annie. I/we had no idea.

Actually, King County voted fairly progressively. It was the rest of the state that fucked it up.

As far as 4204, it needs a little over 54% of the remaining votes (if the Secretary of State's estimates are correct) to win.

Don't look at me. I voted with my mom and my fiancee, and I reminded one of my coworkers. What am I, my county's keeper?
