I promise this is the last thing I will post about the charter referendum in Washington State until there really is a final tally.

Someone sent me what she thought was a final tally but it was NOT a final tally.

The votes are still being counted.

The election is close. The charter advocates were ahead but there are still hundreds of thousands of uncounted mail ballots.

We still do not know whether Bill Gates and his friends have won.

I won’t send out any more bulletins until there is a verified final count.

This one is meant to say: Don’t give up hope.

The fat lady has not yet sung.
