It’s actually pretty embarrassing that Sound Transit puts up the signage for new lines/extensions months (more than 1/2 a year in this case!) ahead of their actual opening. This will confuse a lot of people needlessly! It’s not that hard to put the signage up/change computer screens the week before.

Wilson has well overperformed what she needed tonight. The race is all but over.

This number being true, on the other hand, would also push the Wilson projection back up again so who knows!

One quick caveat to this, actually. Out of curiosity, I changed the aggregate to weight each district's 2023 turnout in the projection (districts with higher turnout influence the aggregate more). Not certain the same districts will be higher turnout this yr, but if so we're looking at a nailbiter!

In the aggregate of this projection, this is what we would expect out of today's drop. Despite predicting a Wilson victory in the end, it predicts today to be a pretty bad day for her! Only a marginally better dump than yesterday, needing an even higher % of the remaining votes.

For anyone looking for numbers for the Seattle mayoral discourse, here's a couple excel screenshots to explain what I would expect out of today's drop, and the fate of the race as a whole. First, a day-by-day projection of where I'd expect remaining ballots to end us up. More details below.

Wait what the hell, King County Elections just randomly jumped from 38% to 50%?? This is either a data entry error or they wayyyy undercounted ballots yesterday.

Definitely too close to call but has to be a lot more than a quarter of the ballots counted right? Would mean like 90% turnout if 3/4 of ballots were still outstanding.

On the whole, I really think this is a complete miss identifying the problem with Puget Sound governance. Progressives and moderates can both govern poorly/well, the more important axis is competency and Balducci is one of few (the only?) politicians in the region that has actually demonstrated it!

I respect @ronpdavis.bsky.social but this is a complete miss. Calling Zahilay's abstention from the Seattle mayoral race (he hasn't endorsed Wilson!!!) "courageous" is a biiiiiiig reach. He didn't endorse simply because he's running this year as well and didn't want to alienate any possible voters.

I will never vote for any current council member, for any and all future positions, ever again who does not denounce this blatant misuse of millions of taxpayer dollars. This is a tactic straight out of the Trump admin (strikingly resemblance to the Sec Noem TSA video!).

Was curious about this myself, so just going to leave this here, re: ST3 realignment.

Pretty out of date now to be fair, but some of the renderings from the Interim Feasibility Study a few years ago feature grade crossings to reach platforms at certain stations.

I'm pretty sure to change whether a position is elected, you have to change the charter, not just pass a bill through the county council. It wouldn't make a lot of sense if the County Council could just declare every elected position in the county is no longer elected, at will!

This mall in a wealthy suburb of Seattle will soon be zoned to allow higher density than the majority of the East Village (including this lot). @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social you can fix this!

Lots of suspense for ranked choice tabulations in NYC-04! I would probably want to be Aronson or Maloney right now, but one of them could also not even make it to the last round so who knows.

@stephenjacobsmith.com Do minor software modifications to elevators really take 6 weeks per elevator?? They don’t even feel like particularly old elevators.

Hasn't been a NYC Mayoral poll in nearly a month now! Feels like the anti-Cuomo opposition is flying blind as we fast approach the last 60 days to election day.
