Sound Politics: "4204 is passing Washington State News by Eric Earling, 07:23 PM The simply majority school levy ballot measure is now passing by nearly 7,000 votes, or a margin of 50.2% - 49.8%. Of note, the margin was closing today even as other counties reported tallies before King and was extended further as other counties reported after King as well. Symbolizing the degree to which the 'yes' campaign was gaining steam toward the end, the most recent tally moved Spokane from slightly opposing the measure to slightly approving. Meanwhile, though Pierce overall remains opposed 47.7% - 52.3%, today's count of over 31,000 votes on 4204 was 51.7% in favor v. 48.3% against. With a bit under 69,000 ballots estimated left to count, 32,000 of which are in King, 4204 is going to pass."
