Washington: Over $1M raised by both sides in Seattle City Council member recall; Turnout over 28% already

Both sides are estimated to have raised about $1 Million in the recall effort against Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant. 28% of voters have already turned in their ballots before the December 7 deadline. Sawant is the first socialist elected to Seattle's council in 100 years. There's been quite a number of twists and turns to this one. The recall is over Sawant's conduct during the Seattle riots and her failing to comply with public disclosure requirements after she led protestors to the Mayor's house.
