Blue states need to turbocharge their democracy reforms. Get ranked choice voting going! Do what Seattle did and do democracy vouchers to counterbalance rich spending! Reform primaries to be nonpartisan top 5 where all independents and 3rd parties can vote! Automatic voter registration and mail-in!

Almost certainly Seattle. Population went from 600k->800k, the city went from no rail system to a top-10 busiest network, region became an absolute economic powerhouse, there’s a total transformation of the waterfront, and so much more

Bruce Harrell can still beat Katie Nelson if he hits a grand slam here in the 20th inning of the election.

The biggest uncalled election is the SEATTLE mayoral race.

Mayor Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson by 11,183 votes (or 8.2%), with 137K ballots counted.

Why is this not over?

Here's what we know. ⬇️

Canvassing for Katie Wilson and a crusty old guy says "She never even ran a kindergarten! No experience!" Yes, Bruce Harrell does have experience, and he's still done a shitty job. Hope that helps.

ok I’m kinda not gonna lie, that particular guy (yeah, I’m sure he has fucked up views, etc) is someone I kind of have a weakness for because he’s so weird and apparently sincerely committed to actually living in dying towns. Like he’s oddly endearing.

Experience being bad at your job doesn’t count.
Bruce Harrell's biggest selling point is his "experience," but these Seattle city employees want you to know that the price of this experience is too high, and Seattle can't afford to pay it anymore.

Three city workers have had the full "Bruce Harrell experience." They're done.

This sounds extreme, but is basically what many anti-homeless activists here in "blue" Seattle are advocating for: Involuntary commitment for homeless people with mental illness that manifests in visible symptoms, mandatory "accountability" for addicts, eliminating visible homelessness ("tents").

I have talked to former Biden Administration officials who agree that Garland and the DOJ were appallingly slow in prosecuting Trump and his cronies. Justice delayed is justice denied, as we very clearly saw here.
Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes
The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

Over on Insta - @joemallahan.bsky.social has a video that should disqualify Harrell from ever being in office again.

We don't need someone who stands with abusers, time after time, and makes jokes to deflect responsibility for it.

Vote for Katie Wilson

@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social let's do this in Seattle
NEW: New York City passed a reform in late 2021 to allow noncitizens with legal status to vote in local elections.

2025 was meant to be the 1st mayoral race with that reform.

But state courts struck down the law this year & @felipedlh.bsky.social reports on the would-have-been voters:
