US EditionHere's How Many Ballots Are Left to Count Before the Seattle Mayor Race Is Decided
The tight Seattle mayoral race is influenced by late and provisional ballots, with 50,000 votes left to count out of over 200,000 cast, potentially deciding the winner by 65 votes.
- On November 10, King County Elections reported Katie Wilson leading Bruce Harrell by 91 votes, 133,469 to 133,378, but the result remained too close to call as ballots continued to be counted.
- Because Seattle uses vote-by-mail, late-arriving ballots and provisional ballots from Capitol Hill and Madison Park narrowed Harrell's more than 10,000-vote lead, aiding Wilson's late gains.
- King County Elections reports 1,930 challenged ballots, and officials will tally 10,000 more on Tuesday, keeping the outcome uncertain.
- Recount thresholds mean an automatic machine recount is triggered if the margin is less than one half of 1 percent and 2,000 votes, and a hand recount if less than a quarter of a percent and 150 votes, with Greg Nickels suggesting the race could hinge on 65 votes.
- With certification set for Nov. 25, Seattle voters must fix ballot problems by Nov. 24 at 4:30 p.m., as any one ballot could decide whether Bruce Harrell or Katie Wilson wins.
