Huff trouncing Irons, Roach and others in early returns for Director of Elections

Whew, what a relief!

David Irons (33,173 votes) - 19.22%
Sherril Huff (75,937) - 44.00% *
Julie Kempf (12,068) - 6.99%
Bill Anderson (14,772) 8.56%
Christopher Clifford (6,851) - 3.97%
Pam Roach (28,888) - 16.74%
Write-in (895) - 0.52%

With 173,519 votes counted, King County's current appointed Elections Director Sherril Huff is easy crushing her five opponents in her bid to keep her job. Huff has 44% of the vote, with Republicans David Irons and Pam Roach trailing at 19% and 16% respectively. Even if Irons or Roach had the other's support, Huff would still be winning by nine points right now. That's a comforting, refreshing thought.

We think it's pretty safe to project that Huff is the victor in this race. Congratulations to Erin Schultz, who ran Huff's campaign, and all the people who worked to get the word out about Sherril's candidacy. Job well done!
