I didn't get to vote. Sad

Granted, I'm no longer in a competitive district, but still.

My ballot is on the west side, and I am not. My dad was on vacation until yesterday, so I couldn't get it mailed to me.

I think you might be able to go to your local county auditor tomorrow and vote provisionally for the statewide races.

You can also request a replacement ballot to any address.  I'm on vacation with like 15 people, and if they didn't vote, I got them sent here.

It's actually kind of ridiculous how easy it is to get a hold of someone else's ballot, which might make it possible to nullify someone else's vote...

Not sure if it's been mentioned here yet, but the Republicans are fielding a write-in candidate for State Treasurer - failed 2008 31st LD candidate Sharon Hanek. If she can get 1% of the vote she'll appear on the general election ballot. I suspect it will be pretty easy to do that.

If you call the county elections office, you can get permission to print out a ballot and mail it.

I didn't even realize they didn't have a candidate until yesterday. And as usual, third parties/independents are too stupid to realize an opportunity to actually get on the general election ballot.

I'm going to go to the voting center and vote in person tomorrow. I think I've decided for sure to vote for DelBene.

Ok... Finally voted. I held my nose and pulled the trigger for Inslee.

Couple of close races tomorrow though, I am looking forward to seeing how things turn out. My LD for example has a pretty close primary going down for state rep between Jeff Davis and Lynda Ring-Erickson (whom I voted for). Though the 1st CD is where all the attention deservedly will be tomorrow.

For some reason I doubt you were seriously considering voting for McKenna. Tongue

Anyway, just voted in person. Voted for DelBene.

Actually I nearly pulled the trigger. My thought process was probably flawed but more or less was went along the lines that McKenna would be a much better administrator and that he would not be able to actually pursue many of his policy positions. Honestly if I had faith that he would enthusiastically pursue setting up Washington's part of the Health Care law then I would have voted for him (well.... also he would have to prove himself capable of not being a crazy right-winger on environmental/gay rights issues).

Also I just really don't care for Inslee

Kirby Wilbur has been asking God for a Burner victory. Can't blame him.

Votes in from Clallam. Governor's race essentially tied there. Cantwell at 54%.

Inslee will probably win statewide if Clallam is any indication.

I wonder if Cantwell will beat her 2006 number in November.

Yep, I'm surprised by that.. McKenna should be doing better there if he wants a chance at emerging from the beauty contest victorious.

Then again we don't know where exactly those votes are coming from.

Bunch in from Eastern Washington. McKenna up 46-44. Pierce going for Inslee so far is a good sign for him.

EDIT: Cantwell down by only .45% in Franklin County.
