Proof that McGinn caters to slackers and those who are addle minded and crawl back to the incumbent vs learn about a field of new candidates.
But let's not kid ourselves to think illegal immigrants would care all that much about participating in this primary, even legal voters don't.
You're sounding more Republican with that post, BTW. You sure you have a legitimate interest in this race?
But the sheer numbers of these late ballots are relatively small, and the bottom line is almost no change in the overall accumulated vote distribution.
You mean like being a resident of Seattle who voted (for Steinbrueck?) I believe so, but as much as I'll toy with your repub-baiting I don't need to dive in head first.
Yes, even King County voters like to complain about ballot drop boxes being few and far between or paying for a stamp. Better if those same-day registrants also call their local "we'll deliver your ballot for you" campaign staffers. Ugh, don't need to go there either.

I think this means that people have considered incumbents such a lock in Council races they didn't really care to bubble in the primary council races. Hopefully the district elections things passes.
now imagine they're incumbents AND they get public finance ...AND independent expenditures are allowed.
we won't have real races for council often. without district elections.

Your cognitive dissonance grows greater every day. At this rate you will never make it out of mommies basement.
Last I checked it was the left who supported people sitting at home and collecting checks, hell that is probably 30% or Barack "the Drone Killer" Obama's base.
If it wasn't for the low information voter on entitlements crowd I doubt there would be a Democratic party, much less a "Socialist Alternative."
You don't know shit. I say late voters are the salt of the Earth and my opinion is at least as good as yours.
Since they don't hand out Social Security and Medicare checks to young people like they do to the old farts who love cars and hate transit, there's more data supporting my teabaggy hypocrite theory than your generic "young people are lazy" bullshit. We know young Americans are the most productive people anywhere. And they work the longest hours with the fewest days off. There's hard data on that. And simple logic tells you it wasn't the young that fucked up this world. It took years and who's been around for years? Old people.
It makes me sick when cranky old pieces of shit who had it easy their whole lives, who had good jobs and cheap education and cheap homes handed to them, as a reward for doing absolutely nothing, sit back on their fat asses and dare to say it's the young who need a kick in the pants. Shame on you. We know you by your works. Look around. Look around!
Old people made this mess.
Nobody has any idea where you're coming from, Five Large. You loves yer guns and you hate a random grab bag of shit and you have your own flag with what looks like a green vagina in the middle with (what else?) a bunch of guns around it. I'd have that vagina looked at by a doc, by the way. Something ain't right.
Nobody can make heads or tails of the shit you spout. Are you ever going to admit printing those weird ass posters, Five Large? Furtive creep.
Wow, seems you have not seen a vagina in some time.
What? I was rubbing one out looking at the wide open beaver on your Vagina Flag.
I am not a football fan, but I harbor no ill will towards the game, I hope everyone had a good time. My father is a Chargers fan so I hope to rub this victory in his face.
Is Jodie Foster still hot?
Easy sexism guide:
Anything that ask for equality rather than special privileges is inherently sexist.
This is also true for racism.
I always knew you were a degenerate pervert.
We were afraid you'd shot off your nose cleaning your gun the other night when you didn't respond again.
We were wondering what neighborhood(s) in Seattle you were born and raised in, and also what year (or at least what decade, if you want to be less specific) you were born.
You thought she was hot at a previous time? To each, his/her own.
Or put another way, Jodie Foster isn't as hot as the woman that lives in the house on our left, nor the one that lives on the right. Stems from me being a girl-next-door type of guy.
Monroe, late 1970's raised off grid in Sultan.
Plus I tend to buy chrome lined guns so I don't have to spend as much time cleaning.
Which one of us has a Vagina Flag? Me? Noooooooo. No Vagina Flag here. You're the one with your problem on display, flapping in the breeze for all to see.
My god. Just picture Five Large marching around in his little uniform with his floppy open carry nylon thigh holster, round belly hanging over his belt, hoisting his proud Vagina Flag high over his head as it flaps and flaps in the breeze. The great green flapping vagina.
That's some fucked up shit. Anyone is free to judge who the pervert is.
Thanks!
I suppose some will consider you a carpetbagger whenever you have anything to say about Seattle, unfortunately.
Also, if your dad's a Chargers fan, he's probably from the San Diego area, and if that's the case, then he really should keep his yap closed where local issues are concerned--at least according to the logic that some people use in claiming McGinn is a carpetbagger.
I object to your description of my friend the gentleman from Monroe as "middle-aged"; if he was born in the late seventies, he is only in his mid-thirties.
wow, Goodspaceguy is flirting with breaking 4% of the vote, which is actually a larger % of the vote than all the female candidates for Seattle Mayor, combined.
Oh, and FYI, it's not like I have proprietary information. You can go to the KCE website and the data yourself.
look, mcginn going up four points up to get this, 31 or 32, woo hoo, means only that a few thousand volunteers making calls have an impact in a very low turnout primary with a wide field. it's not indicative that the trend will continue to bring the vote total above 30%. nor does it mean it will rise by the general election up through the levels of 32...34...36...38..40.42...44...46...48..to 50 that mcginn needs to win. he's down freaking twenty points. he could boost his primary showing by like 60% and STILL LOSE.
end of story.
Whew! Who'd have thought we could solve THAT giant technical challenge?
Catalina dear, I am a bit insulted that you would think I would drive a car instead of a 4x4 truck, and no ex-wives yet. But the forigners thing does make me wonder; ) besides that I didn't apply to UW I went to college in southren NorCal. And lets not get into age hun.
