It was predictable, and predicted. King county found enough "votes" to just barely make up the difference.

This might be just the thing to make a big difference, finally. The Cedar County movement almost got some steam a couple elections ago, and something like this might just push it over the edge. Eastern King County (basically everything east and north of Seattle) tried once before to secede from King County and create "Cedar" county.

This might just do it.

It isn't perhaps an essential element, but there are very few Cedars in Eastern King county.

Well, I guess everyone saw this coming for a month and a half. Hard to feign shock or dismay. A knowing nod about that three member canvassing board - with two hard left Democrat partisans - makes decisions is about all that one can muster up.

Another dictum: If Rossi pulls this off and becomes Governor somehow, it'll be the first time in my memory a Democrat has ever come out ahead on any count (regardless of how many they lost up to that point) and didn't force themselves into the power chair. Acquiring power is like "the precious" to them.
