Anti-viaduct vote increases with new tally
King County has posted an updated count of votes this evening in Seattle's special election on the future of the waterfront and Alaskan Way. Opposition to the tunnel remained about the same, but opposition to a new viaduct increased slightly from yesterday. Here's the new tally:
56.24% oppose a new viaduct (up from 55% yesterday)
43.76% support a new viaduct (down from 44% yesterday)
69.78% oppose a tunnel (about the same as yesterday)
30.22% support a tunnel (about the same as yesterday)
King County Elections has counted 124,090 votes - 73% of the ballots it expects to receive. It says about half of Seattle's registered voters weighed in by mail.
The overwhelming rejection of a new elevated freeway has grown slightly stronger - and that's great news. Hopefully the trend continues as more ballots are counted.
