Election Night Election Results in Contested Races
posted by on August 19 at 23:39 PM
Here’s the night’s last election-result update. Election results are included for statewide offices, King County ballot measures, and districted offices that contain any part of King County. Incumbents are bolded where applicable; judicial candidates that received more than 50 percent won their races and will not go on to the general election. In all other races, the top two candidates move forward to November regardless of their party preference.
P.S. There is no such thing as a Grand Old Party Party.
P.P.S. I cannot stop laughing at the name “Boleslaw (John) Olinski”

Four Republicans are leading state-wide races in this primary... and Rossi is not one of them. I'm just sayin'.
Is the Cut Taxes Grand Old Party Party not exist either then? what a blow to potential bathtub murdering politicians
For those who are interested (and this was just the most convenient place to put it at this time of night when no one is checking the Slog - even though I am and I live in the central time zone) MSNBC has given Rachel Maddow her own show! They're replacing Dan Abrams (who decided to give him a show anyway) and she will follow Countdown starting September 8th.
Probably the best move MSNBC has ever made.
I would like to congratulate the two Democrats who will be running against each other in the 36th and 46th Districts.
Oh, and to you America-hating Republicants - BOO YA!
It looks good for Darcy Burner if she picks up the other Democratic votes.
Congrats to State Auditor Brian Sonntag for receiving the most votes in any Statewide race.
Meanwhile, Obama is starting to fall behind McCain for the White House......
NO!! How could no one vote for Goodspaceguy?!
Just out of curiosity: anybody know what order the names are in? Is it the order they filed, perhaps?
No, it doesn't look like Darcy PTA Burner is going to win. And she won't. And thank God.
When Eli is done crying, seeing how he's obsessed with her, we can take her out back and select our pistol.
The road to Nuclear War has started
If Obama does not get in gear it is over
Surprisingly, he only delivers canned speeches well, and can't out debate Mc Cain
God, how did we end up here?
COMMENT DELETED: Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam!
We'd rather not moderate your comments, but off-topic, gratuitously inflammatory, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate remarks may be removed, and repeat offenders may be banned from commenting. We never censor comments based on ideology. Thanks to all who add to the conversation on Slog. Especially Christopher Frizzelle's Enormous Whozeewhatsis!
@9: I voted for Goodspaceguy.
Oh, but there should be!
Picture the best club night ever: senators cruising the stalls, pundits stoned out of their minds, ridiculous amounts of caged ethnic hotties, hog barbecue, bartenders firing off gratuitous shots, interns and pardons for everyone!
"Boleslaw" was the name of the first Polish king. It means something like "Great Renown" "Slaw" is a common ending for Polish names, meaning "famous" or "glory". Picture a guy named Charlemagne, if Charlemagne were a common boy's name.
I like how he specifies "John" as his preferred alternative to Boleslaw. If I was named Boleslaw, I'd go for a more interesting Anglo alternative...
Oh Ed, you should just off yourself so that you won't have to die in a nuclear disaster.
@15: Barbeque is universal good, and I'd appreciate you not lumping it in with Republicans.
Is Mr. Poe a cocksucking Repulican?
Hey, my grandpa's name was Boleslaw. Are you disrespecting my family ? Don't make me go polish on your ass !
Scott White is a hottie! And he will be an awesome legislator!
