After coming within 2,000 votes in the morning tally, the Simple Majority for Schools folks are down this afternoon by 6,532. There are still votes coming in, but when a measure passes in five of 39 counties, outstanding ballots isn’t necessarily a good thing. Measure 4204 picked up 58.5 percent of the vote in King County, where 402,801 people cast a ballot. 156,994 people in Pierce County turned out on the measure and it there by more than 52 percent. Throw in a couple more high population county losses and you’ve got a problem on your hands.We’ll check in tomorrow.UPDATE:I switched the numbers, the update above shows where the schools are at now.
