Voter Registration Drive Saturday and Sunday Afternoon at Cafe Rozella
September 23rd, 2008 Ricardo Posted in Election, Politics, White Center Comments Off on Voter Registration Drive Saturday and Sunday Afternoon at Cafe Rozella
If you know someone who is not registered or who may have fallen off the voting rolls, bring them by Saturday or Sunday afternoon after 2 p.m. at Cafe Rozella as we will be hosting a voter registration drive. No need to mince words here, the issues at stake could not be higher: war, civil rights, economic collapse and a cool trillion for Wall Street just to hit the high low marks. Drag your neighbor, your cousin or boyfriend/girlfriend and get them signed up so they can exercise their citizenship rights obligations! Cafe Rozella is at 9434 Delridge Way SW (just north of Roxbury and Delridge). Phone (206) 763-5805.
Want to help sign up White Center-area voters?
September 18th, 2008 Tracy Posted in Election, Volunteering Comments Off on Want to help sign up White Center-area voters?
Note, it’s from the Obama campaign site, so you might not want to help if you’re supporting another candidate, but it’s a request for volunteers to help sign up voters at sites including Roxbury Safeway. Check it out here. (It’s also posted on our partner site, West Seattle Blog.) Meantime, if you still need to register, the deadline is two weeks from Saturday, and you can start at this page on the King County website.

The latest King County results are linked from this page. We’ll add updates to this post as the 11th Legislative District (which includes part of White Center) races shape up; none of the 34th District legislators have challengers. 8:35 PM UPDATE: The main race to watch is 11th District State Senator, with three contenders, to be narrowed to two for November – incumbent Sen. Margarita Prentice is ahead, with Juan Martinez narrowly edging Scott McKay for second place right now. 10:30 PM UPDATE: More King County votes counted; Prentice and Martinez are still the top 2 in that race. 12:46 AM UPDATE: Martinez (27%) has started to pull away from McKay (24%) in the latest count – still quite some distance behind Prentice (49%).
