News links for the Great Misdelivered/Undelivered, Three County Ballot Scandal....

This year I covered the four county area (SK,SJ,WM,IS) because of the pertaining appellate judicial race. In the middle of the election a "ballot scandal" developed. I think all three counties most affected recovered. Skagit is having a slow count because of a "folded ballot" issue. When SK ballots are counted, they should join the 75% turnout club as well. Here is where those four counties stand as of the evening of  11/14/2018: From https://results.vote.wa.gov/results/20181106/Turnout.html

County	Registered	Counted	Turnout	To Count
Island	56,044	42,438	75.72%
San Juan	13,392	11,081	82.74%	70
Skagit	75,699	41,230	54.47%	15,000
Whatcom	143,179	110,057	76.87%	1

Notes:

When the final ballots were counted, it should be noted that the Court of Appeals Division 1 District 3 race was much closer than it appeared at first before all of the Skagit results were tabulated.  It also worth noting  that LD 10 Position 2 is now currently separated by ~ 500 votes. There are currently still 1100 votes remaining to be tabulated in Skagit as of 2:15PM 11/16/2018.
