@JohnLegere John, your Tech Reps are working hard but they are telling us YOU won't let them send signal boosters to customers anymore when we have poor signal inside our homes. When will you reverse this decision?

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@TMobile When will you reverse your recent ban on providing signal boosters to your customers with poor coverage inside their homes?

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@JohnLegere @TMobile John, please reverse the TMO corporate decision to halt your signal booster program. Now that many of us are staying home -- we need working TMO coverage (including data) in our homes.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@TMobileHelp @JohnLegere I've tried that. The response I'm getting from Care and your HelpDM team is that you no longer offer signal boosters to your customers. My tweet to John is to make him aware and to ask him to revisit this TMO cost saving measure in the face of so many people staying home.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@JohnLegere Your Care team is telling us that TMO made a corporate decision 3 weeks ago to stop providing signal boosters -- in light of covid-19 and all of us staying home now -- maybe it is time to reverse that TMO cost-saving decision and allow us to have signal boosters?

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@TMobileHelp @JohnLegere Jamie, getting no response from that DM portal. Seems about as effective as the 5 days of runaround I've been getting from TMO Care and their conflicting answers saying you don't have them anymore or that it is new TMO policy to not allow them.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@JohnLegere Long time customer that is getting only 1 bar inside my new PDX apartment. Care is refusing to send a signal booster saying this is new policy. People like me are staying home due to covid-19, but can't use TMO service at home due to a new TMO cost-saving policy?

@PoulChapman @djw172 It's the median age of those that voted (sent in their ballots).

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

How did Seattle's city council district and precinct age demographics impact voting results and turnout?

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@NotoriousKBJ Asked and answered a few comments up.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

The Stranger again clobbers The Seattle Times in Seattle City Council endorsement to vote performance (6 seats out of 7), and Pedersen in D4 is the only winner to fail to get 50% of ballots (that 1 seat won by the Times).

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@comatusnm Not all ballots returned cast a vote for this race (but they did for other races on their ballot such as king county council, port, etc), they left this race blank. D4 is the only district in which the winner didn't get votes from 50% of the ballots.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@pushtheneedle I just did a similar graphic, but used endorsements from The Stranger or The Times instead of PAC funding, which flips D5 (Stranger endorsed Jaurez, Times... Satler).

@ElectScott2019 Sorry for loss Shaun. Lost my own sister last year, it isn't easy. Keep up your fight. Make her proud.

@Seattle_RILU @NickHanauer @jessynfarrell1 @paulconstant FYI! We shared this chart on this social media channel prior to the election.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

@mcbramhill I think they are still a few days off from ~99%, and KCE won't be releasing final precinct data until close to Aug 21st, so... not yet. Follow if you want to stay tuned for updates.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

King County Elections released precinct level results for primary night (60% ballots counted). Attached chart shows how each precinct voted between the two candidates endorsed by either The Stranger or The Seattle Times.

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

More of the older voters get their votes in early. We knew this, but the chart & cumulative numbers might be interesting to people that like this kind of thing (Seattle, Aug 2019 City Council primary).

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

A comparison of the combined votes across all seats in Seattle's city council race in the Aug 2019 primary, grouped by major media endorser (The Stranger, The Seattle Times, neither) @TheStranger @SeaTimesOpinion

[gl3nn206 (g.pittenger) @gl3nn206]

For reference with the earlier voter graphic (by media endorsements), a quick voter density map showing number of registered voters per acre per precinct.
