It was high quality and really good.
Perfect for grilled cheese sammiches.
Tasted so good I didn’t even know I was poor .

Yes…. Back in 1984 and 1985.

Funny, but I don’t remember those brinks of cheese ever tasting that great, but it did help feed my young family during a rough time for the country.

Haha.
Yeah when Wifey and I first got married we were poor as dirt.
I worked all day and went to school at night.
One of our neighbors delivered government cheese and other items to the needy and he hooked us up with big old blocks of that cheese.
I really liked it and it kept my lunch costs down.

I would say that if the early results are only 53% in favor of recall, given how later counted votes tend to break to the left, our initial prediction that she will stay in her role, will come true.

Only a 3% spread in favor of the recall. That should only take a couple boxes of ballots found in the trunks of cars to swing back her way.

It's different this time because most of the votes have already been counted. This is not a King County general election. They've already counted all the ballots that arrived by noon yesterday. The rest of the ballots would have to be 60-65% in her favor for her to win. The thing about this election is both the YES and NO voters have already shot their load days ago. There were no overfilling ballots in the dropoff boxes yesterday. They all looked largely empty.

I think it's actually 6% right now, that's fairly significant as it appears most of the ballots are in.

Sawant has already proven that she doesn’t care about the law, so I can see her, not her physically, but one of her Lieutenants, doing this with her full knowledge.

If Sawant somehow springs forward with more mailed in ballots, a manual hand count needs to happen to ensure the Mail-In voting system actually works and cannot, with ease, be rigged.

Also, “Vote Harvesting” or actions, that basically basically the same, should be made illegal throughout the State, as well as the country, as soon as possible.

As of Wednesday afternoon, 50.31% (19,733) of voters voted yes in the recall and 49.69% (19,487) of voters voted no.

On Election Night, the recall effort was ahead by close to 2,000 votes. In Seattle, the later votes have typically favored progressive candidates.
