Evan Smith: Blogging election results

By Evan Smith

I plan to send reports of election results as they come in. I’ll start sending results shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday on the three 32nd District legislative races, first from Snohomish County, then from King County, and, finally the compiled results from the secretary of state. I’ll add results on Lake Forest Park Proposition 1.

I’ll try to get comments from candidates as results come in.

The postings will appear later on the ShorelineAreaNews web site and on the daily e-mail news feeds.

After Tuesday, I’ll have updated results each day until we have certified results September 1.

King County officials tell me that the Tuesday night results will include some ballots that came in Monday morning but that they usually take two days to compile results, meaning that most ballots that arrived Monday won’t show up in the results until Wednesday afternoon and most that arrive Tuesday won’t be part of the results until Thursday afternoon.

Snohomish County officials say that the Tuesday evening count will include all ballots that arrived in the Everett office Monday.

The Snohomish County portion of the 32nd District includes Woodway, southern Edmonds and unincorporated Esperance. The larger King County portion includes Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore and the Finn Hill area near Kirkland.

If you want to be sure that you’re on my e-mail list, send me a note.
