UPDATE: As of 2/18, I have 51.39% of the vote, and still have a healthy lead of 17 percentage points over the next candidate!
It looks like a win is likely, but I am still not counting my chickens, especially since we don't know exactly how many ballots were mailed in on top of the online votes. The mail-in ballots will continue to be counted until the 28th of February.
In other news, we have surpassed last year's total votes so far by almost 40%!! King County's ballot return data shows that over 13,700 people cast ballots this year, compared to 10,001 last year! That is a HUGE accomplishment in and of itself. But, while we can celebrate that we've officially reached 1% of eligible voters in the county, it's clearly still not enough. We've got to continue to push to get this election on the general ballot.
