maybe this time he'll actually use Katie Wilson's name. We might even get a "Mayor-Elect" in front of it, but that would be a stretch when he insisted on calling her "my opponent" at every debate.
Just In: The Seattle Mayor’s Office has sent a notice for a special public address by Mayor Bruce Harrell tomorrow at noon.

This puts the Seattle mayoral election outside of recount territory!
A recount is required when the race is within 2,000 votes AND 0.5%. Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell by 0.72%. #waelex #SEAelex

the reason you are all confused by how poorly written all of these emails are is that all of you have, at some point, had a boss who would have fired you for grammar and punctuation this poor, none of these people ever did

The WORST people in Seattle are crashing out about mayor-elect Katie Wilson.
Frankly, you love to see it
VERY funny that Andrea Suarez thinks the reason Bruce Harrell didn't win is because he didn't give her and her jackboots the key to the city lmaooooooo

Black Francis’ desperation to be recognized as cool is what screwed the band because he ran out of material after Bossanova and wouldn’t let Kim Deal write for the band or sing more songs
Sustainable band lineups include four cool people (Ramones), four dorks (Weezer), or two cool people and two dorks (Cheap Trick). Unsustainable band lineups include one cool person and three dorks (Pixies)

Um, that doesn’t happen when a race is still technically going on, does it?
Well, I just got a bounceback email from Harrell's campaign spokesperson saying she's not with the campaign anymore. This race could very well go on until late December!

Wilson getting 61% of the drop at this point means it is all over save whether the margin is under 2,000 votes (the number for a machine recount)
Actually, based on rough estimates of the number of ballots left, this might fall outside the mandatory recount threshold.

There has been some chatter about recounts. And there probably will be a mandatory machine recount. But tabulation errors are random and rare, and mostly involve determinations of whether a ballot is an undervote or a write-in. They almost never change outcomes.
