As 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

    You get the gov't you vote for so I really don't care if she keeps her seat. The family scratched Seattle as a go to long weekend a long time ago.

    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.

    Last time I went to Seattle was for the Duck - Coug game at the then Link. Great visit, didn't see a homeless tent. Wouldn't dream of going to Seattle for a road trip today. We had a national convention in Portland in August 10 years ago which was a huge success. People loved it and stayed for trips to Mt. Hood and the coast. Spent lots of money on hotels and restaurants. Never would happen today. Portland has a toxic reputation nationally and deserves it.

    The writing was on the wall for the recall campaign when the cop-hating commie candidate for City Attorney ended up only losing by 4 points. She was openly applauding cops being murdered, calling for jails to be burned to the ground, etc, and only lost by 4 points.

    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.

    Seattlites are known for being the smartest people in the room… they make sure everyone knows that

    Sometimes people are so smart they come across as retarded….

    Seattleites don't get to vote. Her district does. She'd be cooked if there was a city-wide vote. 'Cuz Seattle is super Right Wing, of course.

    55% to 44% is 11 points under Western Chauvinist math.

    What the fuck are you talking about? The City attorney race which finished at 51.5% to 47.7%?

    Dino is still bitter about that. Can confirm.

    Sawant has got this easily.

    Counting is one thing. Counting to achieve a certain required total is a completely different animal.

    Math is racist

    Counting votes is white supremacy

    Yeah, it’s all very secure. Why would the domestic terrorists question anything?

    Paging dipshit @HHusky to grace this thread with more bad takes.

    Sawant now winning by 232 votes. That's two hundred and thirty two for our mathematically illiterate friend.

    Soft brain.
