    Your post gave me hope but after looking at the secretary of state election results, I don’t think its realistic. :/

    It seems like king county had low voter turn out overall. Only a third of king county appears to have voted.

    I hope I am misinterpreting the data, or that it is flawed in someway. Fuck I hope you’re right, I just don’t think so.

      I got my numbers from AP, so I’m not sure where their data comes from. I believe their website said they estimated that only 60% of the ballots had been counted for I-638 (statewide—King County’s was at 54%). But regardless, it still looks very bad, even if there’s a lot of uncounted King County voters let to be tallied.

      My hope is that if it passes, it is struck down as a violation of the Washington State Constitution, or the Washington Law Against Discrimination by the courts. The Seattle Times has a good article on how that may potentially happen
