Pierce County still uses the old system of voting (Remember back when you had to go to a polling station and fill out your ballot). Numbers do not look good out of Pierce County with 52% rejecting Ref. 71.
Statewide the lead to Approve Ref. 71 is now down to just 51%. Not looking good going into a long week of counting votes from all over the state.
More results from Pierce County at 10:30pm, midnight and again at 5am tomorrow morning. After that, Pierce County will continue to count their absentee ballots. Sadly the only results we have left to see tonight is from Pierce County which means Ref. 71 could finish out the night at less than 50% but with still over 100,000 ballots left to count in King County.
