I’m about to head out the door but there’s a few things I wanted to cover:

NWCitizen has the ballot return status, and it’s disappointing. I would have thought that with so much heat on a few races that turnout would have been higher so far. Maybe it’s a good thing, as people are devoting a lot of time to choosing their candidates and we’ll see a surge tomorrow.

Sam Taylor has posted the letter from the PDC to the Pike campaign that started the recent mess last Wednesday. I’ll have more on this later as I work through information that I’ve received and try to track down sources, but there wont be any real definitive answers until after the election.

Transparency is something that is very important to me, and I think that some people really went over the line in attacking Elizabeth Britt over her filing the complaints in the first place. Without people willing to step up and do the research then our disclosure system simply will not work, and trying to intimidate them or challenge their integrity without even acknowledging their complaint is shameful. I don’t have time to get in to it now, but look forward to my extended version of that rant in the next few days.

I’ve got a couple of drafts in the queue on actual topics like Lake Whatcom and the Waterfront that I was hoping to have done last week but I’m still getting them together so they might have to wait until after the election.

I’ll be back tonight with something of substance, in the meanwhile, go check out the NorthWest Notebook candidate forums again and get your ballot in the mail!
