Friday afternoon ballot count drop:
- Wilson's closed the gap by nearly 4 points since yesterday- she now has 48.8% of the vote to Harrell's 50.7%
- Girmay leading Balducci 53.25% to 45.5%
46% of ballots counted - if King County's estimate of 55% turnout stands, still a ways to go!

that sound you hear is every seattle journalist sighing very loudly before getting up to make another cup of coffee
Per King County elections, expect around 30,000 ballots in Seattle's drop today. Seems likely this thing is headed to next week.

Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson 53% to 46% in the first ballot count tonight. It's not unusual for the more progressive candidate to trail in the first drop and that gap will certainly narrow in later counts. Especially since so many people seem to have voted at the last second this election.

this was the scene at the greenlake ballot box 20 minutes before they were due: traffic backed up for blocks, people abandoning their cars to walk their ballots to the box in the rain. better late than never!
