Here is an article on King County early voting this year:

My view is that the low numbers reflect Democratic lack of enthusiasm for their candidates—which polling numbers confirm.
Final point—this race is winnable—the cheat is real—but finite.
I said “final point” but I lied. :-)
Washington State cheating is finite partially because of the traditionally high turnout—even in off year elections.
Back East our big cities have very low turnout in the inner city districts so with same day registration they can create a crazy number of “fake” votes at the Democratic-controlled precinct.
That is how the deed was done in the 2021 governor’s race in New Jersey. Low turnout in the ghetto—fake lots of votes in Newark and Paterson and Jersey City and voila—Democratic governor survives.
The details matter folks—let us pay attention to those.
Nothing would make me happier, especially since I like Smiley.
