Direct election of Elections Director

So the political machine that is King County governmental politics lost their battle to keep King County as the only county in the state without a directly elected supervisor of elections - thanks to the county initiative process. Now the council has allowed a free-for-all plurality-wins (6-way) race held strictly by mail-in ballot.

The election is officially today, February 3rd, which just means that all ballots to be (presumably) counted must either be postmarked no later than today (meaning the last regular business-day mail pickup) or dropped off at any one of ten 24-hour ballot drop boxes no later than 8PM tonight.

As this office is officially Non-Partisan (like the County Sheriff and Port of Seattle Commissioners, and soon to be all county elected offices) the six declared candidates are not officially identified by party affiliation/preference, but that's just naked imperial theatre in my opinion.

So please do a little homework as to who the candidates are, and then vote!

(P.S.: I think Christopher Clifford has a good record for fighting to keep government entities open and honest).
