Republican Davison +17 over police abolitionist Thomas-Kennedy in Seattle City Attorney Race

[Kamala's side hoe]

Davison's lead is only +5 now, but there aren't enough ballots left to change the outcome. Data was just released for precinct results from election night:



Broadmoor was 94.46% Davison, 98.12% Harrell.

I see the majority nonwhite areas south of I-90 favored NTK, and that Capitol Hill is split in half (north = Davison, south = NTK)

Another update today puts Davison's lead at 11K or just over 4%, but there are only 3K estimated ballots left to count in King county, so even if they're low-balling it a bit, this race is definitely over.

It's good, that sane people are a majority in Seattle. But it's an alarming sign that 48% of city population is ready to vote for absolute (120%) nutjob for citywide office..

To be honest if I were a Seattle city resident, I don't think I would've been able to bring myself to vote for either Davison or NTK.

What cities would NTK have won in?

Portland?

I mean, Iannerone didn't win in PDX so

Sister lives in South Seattle not far from MLK and Rainier, but even just briefly eyeballing the precinct with overlaps, looks like the most heavily Asian-American precincts voted for NTK, even with the population tending largest Vietnamese-American with a decent Chinese-American component.

This is just eyeballing it, but it looks like Davison won The ID/Chinatown while NTK won the bordering precincts in Little Saigon. That'd be really interesting if true, because it would kind of controvert the idea that Asian communities that have been in the US for a while tend to vote to the left of more recent groups that immigrated to escape communism. (Although maybe there are enough more recent immigrants from China in The ID that might make this comparison moot? IDK.) This might be a kind of one-off because the ID was particularly hard-hit during the protests last year, but I feel like Little Saigon was too.

Seems to me like both areas were close either way. Probably more of a function of lower-than-presidential level turnout than anything, although I do wonder if progressive/far-left groups in Seattle proper have better outreach to/rapport with Vietnamese enclaves than Chinese enclaves.
