Mass Transit Now appears (knocking wood until knuckles bleed) headed for victory! With 100,000 early absentee votes counted in each county, the mass transit expansion measure had 61 percent and 56 percent in King and Snohomish Counties, respectively; although Pierce County hadn’t yet reported any results, mass-transit campaign volunteers tell the SECB they needed about 45 percent of Pierce County votes if King and Snohomish Counties had gone for the measure by smaller margins. It’s still too soon to declare victory for Sound Transit and mass transit in this region, but right now, the numbers look pretty good.

YES! This was the second most important thing tonight after Obama.
even though yes it’s too early to get excited about Prop 1 passing, i am glad to see the numbers are in our favor!
Please please please let this pass. It was the first bubble I filled in. We NEED this.
What about Gregoire?!?!? Looks like she may have won too!
That is so awesome!
The gay marriage ban in California is up 54.3% to 45.7% with 18% of precincts. That seems to be obliterating all the joy of a potential Prop 1 victory here for me.
And I’m sitting here drinking free booze at the Prop 1 victory party.
“YES! This was the second most important thing tonight after Obama.”
