Ballot counting continues in King County as Primary Election 2025 results roll in
In the wake of Primary Election Day in King County, ballots and results are still trickling in. King County Election Spokesperson Halei Watkins said the final results won't be called until at least Friday, since at least 130,000 ballots still need to be counted. 'If you wait until election night to vote, which many folks do, it can take a little longer if you're in that big crush of last-minute ballots,' Watkins said. Officials say about 400,000 people in King County voted, creating quite the task for their counting machines. 'It takes about 24 hours for a ballot to make it all the way through the process from when it's scanned in as received, to signature verified, to when it's been opened, and finally going through the tabulation system,' Watkins said. 'It takes about a day or so.' She tells us they can count around 50,000 ballots per day. 'We are bracing for a long week ahead. What we see is, typically, returns come in on a steady basis, then we get almost 50% of ballots back on Election Day alone,' Watkins said. She tells us they are happy with the primary election turnout. 'We will see a 35% turnout, that is right in line with what we've seen in the previous Primaries in 2021 and 2023 elections,' Watkins said. But just because you dropped your ballot in the box doesn't mean you should forget about it. 'Make sure to track your ballot until it's counted after you voted. That's great, you took that first step to drop it off, but track it through the ballots being counted,' said Watkins. You can do that here: She tells us the results will be certified after the August 19th deadline for any challenged ballots. Solve the daily Crossword

Who's running for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education in 2025
Mecklenburg County residents will have the choice to elect one person to represent their district on the non-partisan school board. Why it matters: From immigration fears to federal funding cuts, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools face major challenges. This board is tasked with steering the nation's 16th-largest school district through it all. Zoom out: The board will also oversee what's being done to improve student outcomes. While CMS, which has more than 141,000 students, has made strides since the pandemic, it still lags behind the statewide average in student test scores and high school graduation rates. Primary Election Day is Tuesday, Sept. 9. Early voting starts Thursday, Aug. 21. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 4. District 1 🏫 Melissa Easley is an incumbent with two children in CMS. She previously taught science and social studies in suburban Chicago. Bill Fountain, a former middle and high school teacher, has run before for the school board without success. He believes CMS has prioritized "social and political agendas over core academics." Charlitta Hatch is a graduate of CMS and has two children: a third-grader and a preschooler. She's an adjunct professor and teaches "History of Racism and Psychology of the Black Experience." District 2 Thelma Byers-Bailey did not file for reelection. Juan Hall is a former volunteer coach at West Charlotte High School and is involved with Moms for Liberty, a conservative group championing the parental rights movement. Shamaiye Haynes has run before in 2023 with the support of the Black Political Caucus of Charlotte — but she said it hurt her chances that Mecklenburg County Democrats didn't include her on their blue ballot. District 3 ✏️ Gregory (Dee) Rankin is running unopposed to keep his seat. He has a degree in public administration from UNC Pembroke and has taught in CMS as well as private and charter schools. He has also served as chair of the Black Political Caucus education committee. District 4 🎓 Stephanie Sneed, a trial lawyer, currently serves as the board's chair and formerly chaired the Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg. Robert Edwards Jillian King is a former teacher and stay-at-home parent. District 5 🚌 Lisa Cline, an incumbent, worked in education for 39 years, including as assistant principal at Phillip O. Berry, West Mecklenburg and Ardrey Kell high schools. Cynthia Stone attended, taught and sent her children to CMS. District 6 Summer Nunn is not seeking reelection.
