According to King County Elections, about 38.5% of voters eligible to participate in the potential recall of the District 3 council member had already cast ballots as of a midday count Monday. Only those registered in District 3 are eligible to vote.
On Friday, Kendall Hodson, King County Elections chief of staff, said the office was projecting roughly a 50% turnout by the ballot return deadline of 8 p.m. Tuesday. Projections for this election — a December election in an off year and the first recall election of a Seattle City Council member — lack historical precedent.
Sawant, who was reelected to represent District 3 in 2019, is facing a recall in the middle of her term for three charges related to her conduct during [sic] racial justice protests [/sic] and efforts to tax Amazon in 2020. If she’s recalled, the remaining eight members of the council will appoint a replacement to serve until a special election in November 2022.
King County Director of Elections Julie Wise said in a statement on the county’s website that the off date was a compromise due to the unusual nature of a council member being recalled midterm.
“A number of factors influenced our decision to set the recall election on December 7. With both the November General and February Special elections being outside of the realm of possibility, we looked at dates that would reduce overlap between elections for our voters and sought to avoid the busy December holiday season as much as possible,” Wise wrote. “There’s no perfect date to schedule an election but our hope is that voters will show up, turn out, and use their voice in this election just like any other.”

She should have been impeached long ago.
I assume they won’t announce the result for days. They have to allow time for ballots to be found in car trunks and file cabinets in abandoned buildings.
For some reason immigrant Indians are some of the most commie az people politically in this country.
Maybe they are untouchables in India.
There’s something disturbingly evil about this bitch. You see a lot of characters come and go on the public stage but this one is different. This is the one that would gladly flip the switch in the gas chambers. Not your run-of-the-mill liberal do-gooder - more the hard core, hate-filled revolutionary.
She should have her citizenship revoked and be repatriated to India.
Let’s go Kshama.
The fact that it is also the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has nothing to do with it.
I know what you meant...but I'd be happy to flip the switch on thousands of death row people...
Would not bother me at all.....Murderous scum...yet we feed them and have a roof over their heads.
Flip the switch - as in people like you and me - you know “counter-revolutionaries”. You can see it in her eyes.
They wouldn’t dare recall a freeloading, coward “refugee”.
You are absolutely correct: she is evil personified. Too bad she rules in my home town. It shows how ignorant and delusional voters in her district are.
That is because the politically active like Sawant make the news. On the other hand most Indian-Americans are busy working and making a good living, and have the highest average family income (somewhere north of $125k/year) than any other ethnic group, and much higher than average white Americans.
I’m sure. The shilly-shally about how the election was scheduled was a dead giveaway.
its because of their sh&&ty caste system.
