Today is Election Day. Ballots have to be postmarked today or dropped off at a ballot collection station, in our case, at City Hall.
Three City Council positions are up for election: 2, 4 and 6. Sammamish Comment recommends Christie Malchow, Ramiro Valderrama and Tom Hornish respectively. Previous posts detail why.
In Washington State, we vote principally by mail. Accordingly, the final results won’t be certified for two weeks, but trends are known quickly. In fact, having been involved in every election of this City since the 1998 vote for Incorporation, history proves that the final result doesn’t vary more than 1% or 2% from Election night results.
Thus, unless the Election night is too close to call, the result then should tell us what the final result will be.
