About 1 in 65 ballots returned in Seattle made *no selection* in the mayoral race. (4,166 ballots, 1.53%)

Monday's vote dump included 39,145 ballots from Seattle. Wilson received 21,334 votes, and Harrell received 16,943. The difference (4,391) was enough to overcome the prior deficit of 4,300.

Clasping my pearls as I faint to the couch upon hearing that a progressive candidate who features his Christian faith does something that Jesus himself did: befriended prostitutes, tax collectors, fishermen; you know, the salt-of-the-Earth types.

Wilson win the Friday vote dump 54 to 44 percent. If she performs the same among the remaining ballots, she will become Seattle’s mayor!

Is it normal to have 1.4% (1,936) ballots citywide leave the mayor question blank? That seems like a lot.

Spot on reminder, and something we might have reflected on back in January, ahead of the current round of press capitulation. McClatchy stood alone in 2002, and in 2025, we have no one.

“A one-in-six chance the case would be assigned to Cannon:” I am pretty certain there was some outside influence on that selection. I’m unwilling to believe this was left entirely to chance.

Has anyone compiled a list of every legal case directly involving Trump or his administrations wins and losses, with SCOTUS shadow docket wins tallied in a separate column? I’m feeling like the total number has to be close to 1,000.
