Elected. Officials. Lounge

Preliminary results have been announced in this nail-biting electoral contest, and it looks like yours truly managed to squeeze out another,... um,... not-so-narrow electoral victory.

And congratulations to llachglin, proud resident of what is evidently Zombie Precinct -- let the record show that he appears to have gotten nearly twice as many votes as I did.

(Naturally, none of this has been officially certified yet, nor has it been officially determined that we both passed the 10% threshold. Then again the idea that, e.g., 200 additional people suddenly moved into my precinct in the last year without my noticing, and absolutely everybody showed up and chose to do a Democratic ballot and all left the PCO space blank, is well... rather decidedly into the realm of Monkeys Will Fly Out of My Butt...)

I'm not even a Democrat, and I know several of these names:

Chad Lupkes -- works on SeattleWiki, gave me pointed "why don't you volunteer looks" repeatedly during one caucus in 2004 and every time I had to remind him I could not participate owing to citizenship differences;

Bob Ferguson -- Councilmember
Rodney Tom -- Republican defector, running for State Something or Other
Carolyn Edmonds -- former Councilmember
Scott White -- Council dude;
Kirstin Haugen -- YMCA instructor; former aide to Bob Ferguson
Julie Anne Kempf -- one time Assistant Elections Director, King County
Patricia Boiko -- 1967 "Jeopardy!" contestant
Dick Kelley, Lynne Dodson -- 43rd District State Rep candidates in primary
Tim Nuse won two precincts! Wow!

Tim Nuse won two precincts! Wow!

given that 1437 has over 400 registered voters (never mind the vast majority probably being Democrats), it's pretty much impossible that 1 vote would have been enough to win it. Anyway, looks like a mistake to me (you're not supposed to be registered in 2 precincts at once anyway).
