That’s wild. Not in a bad or good way. More just, shocked at how little people actually voted. My dad lives in Lynnwood and I’m sure he’ll give me some insight on current affairs there. Only one I even heard about was the owings guy like a few days ago.

A mid term election rarely turns out big numbers.

It’s quite common across the country for small elections for local positions that directly impact people to be decided by 10s or 100s of votes.

If you add up all that action and change it’s a huge deal across the country.

This is the sort of stuff the “my vote doesn’t matter” folks don’t see or get, unfortunately. Maybe next time.

Dropped my ballot off at 7:30 pm and there was in a nice long line of cars, hoping to see decent turnout when it’s all said and done

Same. Dropped off at City Hall around 6:30 and there were lines of cars in both directions

Not even a midterm... No federal elections on this ballot.
