It gave me hope that there will be a bigger than expected turnout.
We'll soon be off to the election eve festivities, first in Ferndale, then in Bellingham and then over to the Courthouse to get the initial vote tally.
UPDATE: The election night parties were great fun. Ferndale topped Bellingham went it came to the chow.
Here's a photo that catches the big moment of the evening; at the courthouse, Dan Pikes reaction as he reads the initial vote results.

It's obvious that we disagree on directions that our cities, county, state and nation should be going.
More importantly, I think that we agree that voter turnout is dismal.
Even with the late surge of ballots being dropped off, there is still less than half of registered voters voting. I'd be interested to hear what you think could change this.
It looks like we got over 50% of the mail-in ballots returned with 102K ballots in a county of >200K. Hey, it would be great to see higher numbers, but those numbers aren't terrible in comparison to many previous elections. Whatcom County is a very political place. I'm glad so many voted.
