I dug into my archives and found this map I made of 2016 election results aggregated by the (then) new Whatcom County council districts introduced in 2017. Gives a rough sense of the political alignment in our small county here in the northwest corner of Washington State.

I need to update this map with new data from all the elections since 2016, obviously, but it's a hassle to work with the precinct level results. Soon.

Something missing in the coverage of the WA OSOS hiring an outside firm to monitor public social media posts for threats and the WA GOP hyperbolic reaction was that the monitoring came up with three actual physical threats.

The data is clear: should move local elections to even-numbered years to increase turnout: https://www.sightline.org/2023/11/08/in-every-washington-city-odd-year-elections-crush-voter-turnout/

Dear local McClatchy newspaper:

I know you've cut your staff to almost nothing
But "I wonder if such and thus initiative will pass"
is not news.

@BellinghamWA If you're still reading this and it applies, please vote for Liz Darrow for city council!

She works so hard. She listens to and supports marginalized communities. She solicits and responds thoughtfully to feedback and questions.

And the incumbent never responds to me. And that's my damn Ward.

NEW: Former WA state Sen. Mona Das (D) & US Rep. Dave Reichert (R) join crowded WA races.

They're the latest candidates for high-profile open seats such as commissioner of public lands & governor. (via @kcts9)
