https://commondreams.org/news/2021/12/08/nail-biter-seattle-recall-socialist-kshama-sawant-remains-too-close-callAs of late Tuesday, results showed 53% of District 3 voters backing the recall compared to roughly 47% opposed. Of the approximately 2,600 ballots left to count, according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, Sawant needs more than 75% in her favor to avoid ouster.
The PI also noted that "progressive voters are known for voting later, which means the bulk of the remaining votes could be in Sawant's favor."
Author and social justice campaigner Jonathan Rosenblum expressed optimism about Sawant's chances as well.
"We're going to beat this right-wing recall," he wrote in a Twitter thread late Tuesday.
"Because late votes (which aren't in tonight's count) lean left, the recallers had to keep us under 44% tonight to win," he said. "They failed."
In the 2019 election to hold on to her District 3 seat, Sawant "had 45.61% on election night and ended up with 51.83%," tweeted Rosenblum. "Tonight, we started with 46.90%, and will only improve from here."
Every election changes over night on late votes and found votes and water pipes and shit.
Amazing

For some weird reason none of us like stinky, dirty, crazy people rubbing shoulders with us. We also don't like the smell of piss as you pass each piss zone as you stroll through downtown in the summer. Call us crazy.
Sawant is in the most liberal part of libtard Seattle. She will make up the votes and win by probably 3-4 points.
The huge, late vote swings have been par for the course since Dino had the Governor's election stolen from him in 2004.
Sometimes people are so smart they come across as retarded….
For retards like @HHusky who can't read numbers, that's two hundred and forty six votes.
Sawant has got this easily.
Counting votes is white supremacy
Sawant now winning by 232 votes. That's two hundred and thirty two for our mathematically illiterate friend.
Soft brain.
