I never mail my ballot — I always use the drop box.

But to have the most accessibility for submitting ballots the post office is much more accessible.

Yes — Mailing is easier.

Isn't it a crime to threaten the physical well being of a candidate - or any person? And how hard is it to identify a person who is threatening another person?

Democrats believe in tax and spend, whereas Republicans believe in borrow and spend.

The DNC barely runs winnable races and throws oodles of money at losing propositions.

It could rebound andbite us if those Trump people are elected. Very dangerous strategy.

This really shows the problems with our voting system when people contribute to the candidate they like the least.

The DNC, DCCC, and DSCC also back democrats who aren't votoing like Democrats, like Henry Cuellar.

We were rated the best state in the country vconcerning public disclosure concerning elections.

Dems are being Too Cute! That $ on R's could be used for Grassroots Organizing which are Underfunded Frontline Workers.

With first pass the post election systems, third parties have no chance.

For Washington State Secretary of State, according to the FUSE organization: Julie Anderson (non-partison) is highly supportive of Ranked Choice Voting whereas Steve Hobbs (Democrat) opposes Ranked Choice Voting.

Doug is the best Democrats in the 4th in 30 years!!!

we NEED Ranked Choice Voting!!!

Is there any move to get rid of the top two primary in Washington which rewards spoilers?

Yes we sure do!!

What are the advantages/disadvantages of top-two primaries?

10th LD dem Shavers newcomer over incumbent rep Gilday.....

Brain going fuzzy suggests you should take a vacation.... yes

If that is Cindy with a fuzzy brain......

Well deserved.

How did Noel Frame do? She was running for State Senate I believe.

I note someone said Julie Anderson is for ranked choice voting. I don't believe she always speaks her truth. She was a Democrat before she became independent, but she always supported Republicans running for Secretary of State. Turncoat is a word that comes to my mind. I want us to vote for Steve Hobbs.

Noel Frame earned 81.27% of vote

Robert Brown Julie ran as non-partisan and I think this should be a non-partisan position.

Not as an independent...

Great about Noel. What position was Robert Brown running for?

Spokane County had some encouraging results in the 5 district county commissioner race, the county auditor race, and the prosecutor's race.

Noel Frame had no opponent apparently. Other than write-ins

Wow. I am hoping on her to get legislation on tax reform.

WA has legal abortion since 1971 (?) but Gov Inslee (and others) said after the Dobbs decision that we need it in the Constitution so it cannot be easily overturned.

mikeo@post.harvard.edu

Robert Brown (me) is not running for anyhing, nor will he.

Electoral Count Act Reform (ECRA) and Independent State Legislature Theory (ISL) are the two hot items that are complex but critical to the survival of our republic and avoiding another fiasco on January 6, 2025.

No

Who is that Melvin is talking about? Julie...?

Julie Anderson, running for secretary of state. She is the former Pierce County Auditopr.

Auditor

Julie is currently Pierce County Auditor. They have term limits and she is not eligible to run again for that position when her term ends.
