Washington State Superintendent Looks to Be Chris Reykdal
Checking the latest numbers from the Secretary of State's website, it looks like Chris Reykdal will narrowly take the state superintendent position by about 30,000 votes (.22%.)
There are about 170,000 ballots left to count throughout the state with King county having the largest number at about 64,000. Looking at the vote counts from the counties with major outstanding numbers of ballots AND who has consistently been carrying what county, it look like Jones will not catch up.
A recount happens if the vote count is less than 2,000 votes apart. That does not appear to be the case here.

Now that Chris R is in, we can wait for Trump's Secretary of Education.
To be clear, it apparently will NOT be Moscowitz as the head of the DoE, although she was a prominent name. She met with Trump and subsequently took her name off the list, says this article today.

* no more common core rewards
* leniency on charters
* more money to the states
two out of three isn't bad for our state.

Meanwhile, Dorn is trying to ram through changes to ESSA. This issue should be addressed by the incoming SPI and not Dorn. I've not forgotten that Dorn worked with the Gates Foundation to undermine our highest court ruling and Democracy.
