Socialist Wins Mayor’s Race After Ballot Dumps Over a Week After the Election

Democratic mayoral candidate Katie Wilson, a self-professed socialist, has unseated incumbent Democratic Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, multiple outlets projected eight days after polls closed.

Wilson, an activist who has been widely compared to socialist Democratic New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, received 50.2 percent of votes compared to Harrell’s 49.5 percent, according to Decision Desk HQ on Wednesday. While Wilson was initially behind in the vote count, late ballot dumps that broke in her favor were enough to put the leftist challenger over the finish line.

The sitting mayor led in early returns, prompting DDHQ to initially call the race for him on Nov. 6 — while there were still about 100,000 votes left to count. DDHQ retracted the call just one day later. King County Elections told the DDHQ website that there were tens of thousands fewer ballots left to count than there actually were.
