KING COUNTY, Wash. — Just over 30% of King County ballots for the 2022 General Election have been returned as of 5 p.m. Friday, according to the Secretary of State.

There are 1,382,801 registered voters in the state's largest county, and 417,223 ballots were returned ahead of the weekend. The deadline to vote for the midterms is 8 p.m. Tuesday.

It’s overwhelmingly D and who in hell would be anxious to vote for Patty Murray. Ds aren’t voting. Kent, Smiley winners tomorrow.

Patty Murray deserves to be smacked. Her political ads have been disgusting.

“So what? Election Day is tomorrow.”

King county is so liberal and big that they control a vast majority of the votes in Washington State. And they vote almost 100% liberal. Who ever wins King County and a portion over any of the other counties in the entire state is going to win. For that lock step group not to already have a vast majority of their votes in is almost unbelievable. This is why the state has been liberal controlled for many years. The last Republican to hold the office of governor was John Spellman in 1985.

The really fun part is hearing them explain away box after box of clean ballots that keep being discovered in closets, basements, car trunks, storm drains, attics, over the months following the elections. The inventoried supply chain of spare votes for harvest as needed.

Voting used to be simple, show up at your local precinct on election day, check in with an ID, get your ballot, place an X in the box next to the candidate of your choice, drop the ballot in the ballot box and your done. It used to be that simple until the libs figured out how to screw up the process six ways from Sunday.

Is there a difference in the envelope of a Republican returned ballot compared to a democrat returned ballot. Can people tell if it is from a democrat or Republican just by the envelope,

Washington mails out all ballots. Voters must either mail their ballot or drop it off at ballot box site to cast a vote. There is no in-person voting like in normal states.

Don't think so. They separate the ballot which is in a sleeve, from the envelope which has voter identification info.

The envelope is scanned which allows the voter to "track" their ballot online.

Seems like good news if turnout is down. Dems must be apathetic.

Yes, from coast-to-coast.

Where do they get this demographic "data?" Out of hat? From their backsides? Incsoc?

Primary turnout for both parties was really low (~25%) We thought the Rs had some momentum, but the conservative pundits were really disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm. Smiley has some support but the Dems just based on TV adds looked like they outspent the Rs 3:1 .
