So, Tim Eyman's initiative is more favorable state-wide than Kshama is in her district. Also, some bias is showing if "Lisa Herbold and Shannon Braddock were in a close fight" but Kshama's race was ready to call this morning.

DISTRICT 1
Shannon Braddock: 52.43%
Lisa Herbold: 47.06%

DISTRICT 3
Kshama Sawant: 52.93%
Pamela Banks: 46.77%

TIM EYMAN'S INITIATIVE 1366 (statewide):
For: 53.22%
Against: 46.78%

Why is eyeman's initiative winning? that is depressing as hell.

We already can't pay for what we need and this fucking Tim Eyman bullshit is going to cut our state sales tax funding by 10%. I know it's shitty regressive sales tax but it represents a large portion of revenue and our legislature won't tax income.

Sawant's re-election seems really bad for District 3 then. She will be ostracized and unable to work with the others.

Braddock's lead narrowed from 760 votes at 4:30 to 729 this evening.

Making a Moderate-Majority Council More Likely

Doesn't it depend on whether one considers it "moderate" to make living in Seattle not affordable for the average joe?

@4 It's what people like you said when she was first elected and look at what she has done. Perhaps we could do without your constant editorializing considering your very low batting average.

@1 I know critical thinking is difficult, I'll try to help you out a bit.

Later ballot drops are expected to break towards Sawant in the D3 race (where Sawant is leading), which would make the margin INCREASE.

Similarly, later ballot drops are expected to break towards Herbold in the D1 race (where she is behind), which would make the margin DECREASE.

Is that enough explanation, or do I need to get REALLY granular for you?

@7, oh, the "left-leaning voters can't make up their minds and vote late" theory. I see.
