I'm looking forward to seeing which candidate gets to the general election with the fewest votes. With so many candidates in the 1st and 5th districts, and with District 4 having five fairly viable candidates, the number could be really low.

Also, this chart reveals the utter failure of the district map as currently drawn. Charter Amendment 19 states that "the population of the largest district cannot exceed the population of the smallest district by more than one percent," yet the registered voters in the largest district (#6) exceed those in the smallest district (#2) by 33 percent!

Good thing Faye's Army gerrymandered District 6 to include Mike McGinn's house. That was totally necessary to balance the population. Assholes.

I thought the districts were supposed to be apportioned with equal populations. Why is the second district so much smaller? Is it fewer people are eligible to vote, such as non naturalized immigrants?

Queue the Seattle Times whining about delays in ballot counting.

Could you include a link to the source of the chart? I may have missed it, but I didn't see it in the original article. Thanks – just wanted to see if the numbers are parsed any further.

@2, 3: The Districts are apportioned with equal populations, not by the number of registered voters (that's state and federal law, by the way). Voter registration rates are traditionally lower among low-income and non-white populations.

I mailed mine last week but seriously: none of the candidates was addressing the concerns I have about affordability in Seattle. It was all short on detail and heavy on pandering.

I promise you that in two years we will be in the same boat except even higher rents and fewer affordable apartments.

Mailed mine on Saturday. Do I get a sucker or a cookie?
