Today is the deadline to mail in your ballot for the King County special election this month. Unless you live in Fall City or Enumclaw, all you'll be voting on is the new county director of elections. Seattlest will be sending ours today, since we didn't bother to look up the candidates until this morning. We're voting for Sherril Huff, the incumbent, who is endorsed by such illustrious organizations as the 43rd District Democrats and the Stranger (she is "competent, sane, and qualified" compared to our other options, says the Stranger Election Control Board). Huff was also one of two candidates recommended as "outstanding" by the Municipal League. It may be ridiculous that we have yet another expensive election to vote on just one position--doesn't it take millions of dollars to send out ballots?--but vote anyway. Just do it.

Quick reminder to all the registered absentee voters among us: your mail-in ballots for this summer's primary need to be postmarked by tomorrow, August 19th, in order to be counted in the vote! More information about the Top Two Primary system can be found at the Secretary of State's website, including the link to an online Voter's Guide. And to those of you who aren't yet registered voters, now would be a great time to transform into a beautiful voting butterfly by filling out the registration form.
