On Sep. 30, King County Elections formally certified a petition seeking to recall Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant. The recall election has been scheduled for Dec. 7 and will decide whether Sawant remains in office. According to state law, an election must be held within 45 to 90 days after a petition is certified.

The petition to recall Sawant accuses her of various offenses, including misusing resources of the city to promote a “Tax Amazon” ballot initiative. In June last year, Sawant let Black Lives Matter (BLM) protestors into Seattle City Hall when the building was closed due to COVID-19.

By organizing a march to the home of Mayor Jenny Durkan, she also breached the state’s confidential program, according to the petition. Durkan’s residence is not widely known due to security reasons since she had previously served as a federal attorney. However, the court acquitted Sawant of threatening physical harm to Durkan.

Speaking to The Epoch Times, Kendall Hodson, chief of staff for King County Elections, said that “there’s a sufficient number of signatures” to certify the recall petition.

A minimum of 10,687 signatures were required from registered voters of Seattle’s District 3 to approve the recall election. According to the county, the petition had garnered over 16,000 signatures by early September, from which over 11,000 were accepted through a verification process.

Ballots for the Dec. 7 election will be mailed to voters on Nov. 17. The ballots will describe the accusations against Sawant and her replies to these charges. Voters will have to choose either “yes” or “no.”

Where the vote is done by mail , democracy is a fiction.

Kshama Sawant

Just another communist.

But this communist is special, because she is also a Brahmanist.

The Brahmans (priestly class in Hindu) created the caste system, which is a form of racism that is the most systemic in all the world currently. It makes Apartheid look like a sorority.

The Brahmanists are joined at the hip with the socialists and communists.

Why?

Because Brahmanism is just another form of Statism that grants unlimited power and wealth to the Ruling Elite.

They have the same goals as the Statists all over the world: tyranny.

They join the Statists because they calculate — like all tribal-minded groups calculate — that if they put the system of Statism in place, all they need to do is take over control of that system and their tribe will rule over all other tribes.

Brahmanism is as much a threat to American and Western values and traditions and freedoms as Islamofascism.

Because the rule of law doesn't apply in the state of Washington. The Demagogic Party is a collection of violent rival street gangs.
