It’s amazing to watch the video and see how they’re saying it looks good for her. 7 points behind but the expect, as in past elections for more ballots to show up for her overnight. Even in Dem cities like Seattle the most crooked Leftists still cheat. She’s nothing but a slick foreigner communist...

Wow - not expecting this.

Unfortunately, 53% is too small to guarantee anything in King County (Seattle).

They count ballots for weeks around here.

If Sawant is still losing, they will start counting provisional ballots next.

Provisional ballots are cast by thousands of people on election day who have no ID, no proof of residence, or no proof of eligibility.

Unsurprisingly, they vote 95% Marxist, and usually just enough of them vote to shift the election to the Politically Left candidate by a couple hundred votes.

I am still pretty sure that Rossi won, but he had no willingness to fight the King County machine so they kept finding votes until he surrendered.

Dino Rossi for governor was my first election in Seattle.

I think that was also the first election where all WA voters were eligible for mail-in ballots.

I am still stunned by the outcome of the Rossi election, almost two decades after the fact.

And now, USA Conservatives will have to think about Trump and 2020 for another couple decades.

If Sawant wins 100% of remaining vote: 56% total (stays)

If Sawant wins 75% of remaining vote: 52% total (stays)

If Sawant wins 67% of remaining vote: 50.3% total (stays)

If Sawant wins 50% of remaining vote: 47% total (ousted)

This is a tall order given that she received 47% of the votes counted as of tonight. But vote count swings in Seattle are no joke.

She should be in an arranged marriage pooping in the Ganges, not living in our country. Send this trash back to the dump.

PROVISIONAL ballots should NEVER exist.

NO election board every checks their legality.

I read that the city council appoints a replacement to serve out the rest of Shawants' term.

What stops them from appointing Shawant?

from the linked article:

“Sawant has labeled the recall as a “racist, right-wing campaign” while at the same time not doing much to dispute the three charges against her, as validated by the state Supreme Court.”

from the Newsqueak article:

However, Sawant told supporters at a venue in the Capitol Hill neighborhood to wait until all the votes had been tallied. “In every one of our elections, there has been a dramatic swing after election night in our direction,” she said, according to the Times.

I’m shocked that this group of socialist losers recalled one of their own prizes. She was supposed to win big.
