Don’t vote until Election Day. Otherwise you’re giving the Rats advanced notice on how much they need to cheat in order to win.

Don’t worry, they’re all stored up in a warehouse somewhere. Just enough to ensure a Rat majority.

Joe Kent was running against Herrera Butler for the Congressional seat. He told us to hold onto our ballots until election day, to keep the DS actors from figuring out how many votes to manufacture. A great many did hold out, and in early returns Butler was leading by 3-4 points. By the end of the count Kent passed her and won the race. I should have saved the graph, it played out just as he said.

I am starting to get encouraged by many young voters in leftist states.

They are not Republicans, but they hate government, don’t trust it and I would expect very low turnout from them.

They have been crushed by the Bidet inflation.

“The Political Climate in King County, WA is Very liberal.

In King County, WA 75.0% of the people voted Democrat in the last presidential election, 22.2% voted for the Republican Party, and the remaining 2.8% voted Independent.

In the last Presidential election, King county remained overwhelmingly Democratic, 75.0% to 22.2%.
King county voted Democratic in every Presidential election since 2000”.

Don’t worry folks. If voters don’t turn in their ballots, King Co. election officials have more than enough completed ballots kept in store rooms and desk drawers to make up for the shortfall.

They probably need to see how many Democrat votes they will need. I smell a rat.

I lived in King county for 20 plus years.
All the smart guys left. Just Democrats and
“don’t give a shits” are still there.

Maybe they sold them and they’re going to be adjusted as the totals from Republican votes are tallied.

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

Joe Kent has worked his tail off. Too bad he is not in my district. I sent a donation anyway.

There is no “in-person” voting in WA, unless you mean dropping off the mail ballot in a box somewhere.

It is possible the Dems in King County are disgusted with the policies of Biden & Co, but just cannot bring themselves to vote for any Republican. So they are sitting this one out.

I do hope so because that will smack Patty Murray right in the toosh.
