 Katie Wilson is still behind, but made some gains. It’s not over.

Whose town? BRUCETOWN! 😎

Katie is going to need to repeat Sawant’s comeback - I don’t see that happening (she’s simply not gaining the ground needed to overcome an 8 point high waterline)

@2: I think we need to get away from the "Sawant's comeback" model for the current election. Sawant was a multi-term incumbent, representing the most liberal and physically smallest district, who had a HUGE number of folks on the ground in the weeks before the election to drive turnout. (At least one of whom had arrived in town for this purpose; he tried to claim he lived in District 3, then identified his actual neighborhood of residence as somewhere outside the district. Oops...)

Furthermore, I somehow doubt a Mayor Wilson would want to dodge a recall, and then quit after one term! ;-)

@3: “Furthermore, I somehow doubt a Mayor Wilson would want to dodge a recall, and then quit after one term!”

Yeah, she usually doesn’t quit until Trinity term! 😂

How many votes are left to count?

7

Like I wrote yesterday, just substitute "stupid and naive" when The Stranger writes "progressive".

I think maybe if you wrote "fuck" some more it would help!

8

With 110,000 votes left to count, Wilson needs less than 55% of the remaining. She’s going to win.

9

Wilson got 51.8% today. Every day that she falls short of the 56% she needs to overtake Harrell, increases the amount the needs the subsequent days. tl;dr Bruce will be re-elected mayor.

@8: What do you like most about Katie Wilson?

11

@10

glad you asked:
Katie's got Integrity.
Bruce's got the Chamber
of Commerce and All the Billionaires

12

Kristofarian dear, can you give examples of her "integrity"?

And according to Forbes, there are twelve billionaires in the Seattle Area. I doubt if any of them are eligible to vote in the Seattle elections. Medina and Hunt's Point are not part of Seattle.

When I saw that Katie Wilson was running for mayor, I instinctively knew I had seen her before. Doing a little research, my suspicions were confirmed - that antiquated, Plain Jane, visage is no accident - there are still shot daguerreotypes of her in Ken Burns 1990 PBS documentary on the Civil War. Katie was a Union camp attendant who sadly perished near the Hornets Nest at the battle of Shiloh. Though she might have gained some real world skills in that environment, I just dont think she has the kind of background needed to lead a major city in this day and age.

14

@13: what's really crazy is that in one of the daguerreotypes, she's holding what appears to be an iphone 😂

15

@11: Such astounding savvy inside baseball insight! You should get a gig on Morning Joe.

Seriously, I can't blame you for extrapolating a ubiquitous attribute into whatever sticks. After all, she has the same amount of political experience as Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth going in, so I can't blame her or any wannabe politician wanting to follow a similar hyperbolic pattern into executive power.

16

@12: ‘…can you give examples of her "integrity"?’

Sure! The child of two academics simply chose to drop out of Oxford with six weeks to go. That’s obviously a true story, which we know ‘cause one of her first Seattle employers had never heard of it.

Also, she needs money from her parents for “childcare,” because her husband, being totally unemployed, hasn’t the time to care for their child himself.

Integrity!

17

We all know integrity is an entitled child of the ivory tower raising donations from poor people to supplement her allowance.

18

I think the most damning thing Katie ever did was when she waved her gun at a family over a parking spot. What a piece of shit!

19

@18: they stole his parking spot, he was entitled to resist the occupation by any means necessary 😂

20

@18 She also trolled us with that basketball like a total dick.

21

Bellevue is pulling for you!

22

Katie Wilson
112,135
48.86%

Bruce Harrell
116,435
50.74%

Bye, Bruce.

23

That's 55% for Wilson. With probably 50,000-plus votes left, she should win by a thousand or so.

24

@23: How do you arrive at 50,000+ votes outstanding? I make it more like 24,000 votes outstanding (which, if true, would mean Wilson would need more than 57% of the outstanding votes).

25

@24: n/m, apparently the true number is 45,000 outstanding
