One of the few remaining political campaign signs from the midterms on display in Clark County, Washington.
The letter “Z” is a symbol displayed on Russian military vehicles during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and in Russian propaganda.
Kent and his supporters have faced backlash from the local Ukrainian community over support for Russia.

Another note on the #joekent talk at the Simi Bird for governor event last night.
He changed his mind about voting late.
During the campaign, he has advised his voters to vote late, based on seriously warped disinformation about how ballots were processed. Now it seems like he is at least partially blaming that thinking on his loss.

Joe Kent did a lot of things last night at a Simi Bird for governor event:
* He announced he's running again in 2024
* He hinted he was going to sue over the signature verification system
* He also did some bad analysis on voter turnout. He said his voters just did not turn out, especially in Clark County.
1/2
Some important context for the Kent recount request
1. Despite mentioning signature verification in his comms about the recount, this process with have zero to do with that step of ballot processing
2. A machine recount is basically rerunning the initial machine tabulation OR verification of the logic and accuracy test, which all the counties passed weeks ago
3. The $42k deposit is just a deposit. He's going to have to pay the entire amount, which will be way more
Washington counties are dropping their precinct level data this week and this is a fascinating piece of data from the #wa3 race in #clarkcounty
Precincts in Clark County that went for Joe Kent had higher turnout, which is totally not what I expected
So Marie Gluesenkamp Perez was able to win district-wide despite turnout headwinds in her core county

With #WA3, Dems would hold every House seat that touches the Pacific for the first time since shortly after the Civil War (when there were a lot fewer seats touching the Pacific).
