Feeling very nervous. Kshama should have a chance if she has no fewer than 42% of the vote. That was her vote share on 2019 election night, which she ended up covering.

the King County election result is pretty nice, so that's good news to the people who'll be spending their time looking at results until this is final

Is that $1.98 the total campaign or just what was spent against her?
I've seen numbers of about $950K for Sawant's campaign and roughly $960K against her in this race.

While I agree in general, especially when it's just "I don't like it that my candidate lost.", I think they did make a case here with the charges.

If the recall wins, the person being appointed by the City Council is a bit of a complete unknown, but it's probably not going to be Dave Reichert.
Also, guess we'll see if the map changes any once it becomes official but that is a very polarized map in regards to what won where

Either way she wins. While she may lose her seat: it will be known that million(s) were spent to oust 1 city coincilwoman

As a previous resident of this district, I can confirm it's about what I expected.

if anybody is curious as to how to spend thousands of dollars in a race like this, here's some of the larger expenditures from "Recall Sawant" in a period where they spent $106k over 2 weeks
$11k to the USPS for postage
$36k to Strategies 360 for Direct Mail Printing
$21k to a law firm for legal consulting
A certain amount of the spending essentially involves paying friendly groups, which seems smarter if you win the election.
Congrats to the entities that made some money off of this whole thing though.
