If the trends hold or even improve tomorrow, CM Sawant has a very good shot at surviving the recall. But ballot chasing is probably going to be key.

Most of those votes are of people under age 45, which are favorable to CM Sawant, but expect campaigns to chase these ballots prior to certification. app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrIjo
