The last time we elected a grassroots-backed mayor was McGinn in 2009! Since then every mayor we've had has been heavily backed & influenced by Amazon, Expedia, Comcast, CenturyLink, Starbucks, Uber, Vulcan, WA Assoc of Realtors, the Chamber of Commerce, the billionaire owner of the Mariners, etc.

I mean, BARELY within the mandatory recount requirements (and could go beyond that if the few straggling ballots go her way). Right now, she has 0.49 percentage points on Harrell and leads by less than 2000 votes; if that goes above 2000 OR she leads by > 0.5 percent, no mandatory recount.

Oh hi that’s me.
Basically every 9am I have been scraping the KC receiving (sorted but not verified) demographics dashboard for the raw ballot counts. Subtract off the previous day, and you get the newly received demographics. That demographic would precede the actual tabulated drops by 1-2 days.

I saw in your newsletter that the remaining ballots skew young. I can see that for the challenged ballots on KCE's website, how did you learn the age range of total remaining ballots?
