Stay classy conservatives. Stay classy.
I think in this case it might be appropriate for the Stranger to take the credit considering the margin and all the good work refuting your earlier endorsement of Sanders etc...
Yea journalism!
Another low from Sanders. Ugh.
Wiggins doesn't seem like as much of an in-your-face dickhead as Sanders, which I suppose is the only reason to care.
I have done ballot chasing before, its hard to get people to volunteer to do it and it can be costly. I think I am going to contact the Wiggins camp tomorrow and see if I can help him ballot chase! :) I wouldn't want Sanders stealing this race away from Wiggins now.
"Many of them are votes for Sanders"!
How does he know that?
You are right. I ballot chased for Gregoire the first race. My partner and I were a high achievers, rehabbing 5 or 6 votes in the course of hours. a lot of doors knocked on, because most of them aren't home. Then a couple more between 8 and 10:30 pm.
I can't quite remember how it went down. I think there was no way to tell if they had voted for Gregoire or not, but if someone on our list was home, we maybe asked them if they were Gregoire supporters and if so we carried in their paperwork, but not if they weren't Gregoire supporters. Oh, hell I can't quite remember the procedure, but very time consuming....
Hint: if your vote got rejected for signature, as mine did, RETURN YOUR PAPERWORK.

At first, I thought that was normal, as I voted day of, in person, but upon review of the play, it is a little odd that it hasn't been counted yet.
Just sayin'.
Yes, yes it does. I won't get into the extreme details again (see previous comment threads), but there is reductions for under-votes, over-votes, rejected signatures and machine counting error.
Oh, and that kangaroo stole my ball.

It wasn't a big deal when the elections department was downtown. I could swing by while doing other stuff going on downtown, but once they moved to Renton it became such a PITA to go verify the signature. Secret they told me once: you can sign as many signature cards as you want and they'll hoard them all and check for "discrepancies" against the ballot signature. I signed a few as "motherfucker" and "X" and other obscenities specifically directed at whoever was checking signatures. I haven't had a ballot rejected since. I don't care how rude I appear to be to some retard, partisan flunky, felon doing community service or old person with too much time on their hands. I never want to go to Renton during "office hours" again.
Judge Sanders was correct. Only a reality-ignoring, fact-denying naive white Seattle libtard would dispute Sanders' statement.
Therefore, I am staying on topic.
A big problem is actually signatures that "don't match". The people who determine if the signatures match tend to err far too much on the side of caution (IMO). I have my ballot tossed all the time because the signature doesn't match, and have to fix it.
Or old people.

The color of murder and gun violence in New York
By Jonathan Capehart
Nov. 10, 2010
"In short, 95.1 percent of all murder victims and 95.9 percent of all shooting victims in New York City are black or Hispanic. And 90.2 percent of those arrested for murder and 96.7 percent of those arrested for shooting someone are black and Hispanic. I don't even know where to begin to describe the horror I still feel looking at those numbers. But the word "hunted" comes to mind."
