Where are you getting the results? sos.wa.gov is, uh, not user friendly (or maybe I’m a moron)

From individual county auditors.
I'll have a multi-county update later tonight (+Thurston, Kitsap, Yakima, and Whatcom)

Very cool! Not convenient for the casual user, but maybe I'll play around with it later to add to my return tracking.

Looks like there have been 303,283 votes cast as of 10/23, if I imported into Excel right.

It looks like the files are not cumulative, so you have to export both the 10/22 file and the 10/23 file.

I'm a but confused. This data shows 98,991 ballots from King "received", "returned", or "rejected" alone on 10/23, even though King County's records show that only 52,776 ballots (in total) were recorded returned by 6 PM on 10/23...

Similarly the data shows 97,441 votes cast on 10/22 for all of WA, which doesn't jibe with the increase in voter turnout that day.

And now I just found this: https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/research/ballot-return-statistics.aspx which, lol, shows 233,350 ballots cast as of 4PM 10/23...
