A very comprehensive analysis! Worth reading

Hi, All! I live Edmonds on Tulaiip and Salish tribal lands and waters. I’m going to be off video and audio this evening, but following it all. Warm regards to “all y’all”!!!

It might be useful to remember that self-identified Republicans measure only about 25-28% of the electorate. So, a modest to small percentage of Republicans is a REALLY small percentage of voters.

You'd never know that from what happened in Virginia...

Re: Revolving DoorAs a result of defeats or retirements in 2010, something like 9 Democrat senators left the Senate. Only one of those returned home. The others ALL became lobbyists.

Precincts with Precinct Committee Officers going door to door raises turnout for the party by about 5%, which can be critical

Yet, Australia still elects reactionary and corrupt officials.

IMO, almost anyone can vote against their interests if they are scared. Fear is a great (terrible) motivator.

FYI Bruce Harrell (not Harnell)

Kathy has been on KC council for the last 19 years

Is Beverly Harris still in the Seattle area commenting on voting?

Sequim voted against all the Qanon folks!

I remember ?Dan Savage? at the Stranger registered as a republican for just that reason. Showed up at Republican caususes

Enthusiasm, Enthusiasm, Enthusiasm - an important part of our training in Democracy for America.

Mandates do not seem to be successful enthuse “liberty loving” United States. Wish that we could, but current Congress would never pass a bill like that.

instead of a fine for not voting consider community service for a couple of hours

oops — correction — “in these United States”

Cindy, how engaged were the students?

I agree with Rebecca

Rebecca is also very dedicated to civics education and love to speak to high school and middle school students!

good idea max. a park day pass or ferry fare

How could our system reward voters? I agree with Max.

Thank you Max

Covid may have reduced in-person campaigning this election, and personal contact motivates voting

I think there are laws against paying people to vote.

Great idea Max!

It doesn’t explicitly have to be a monetary incentive.

Riki has been working with Our Children’s Trust. I’ve seen her at all of the court events in Eugene, OR and Portland, OR.

Norm - Riki Ott filed the climate change law suit against the federal government. Look up Julianna vs . . . . in the US Congress.

“the State we Are In” comes in two versions: one for 6 grade+, another for grades 3-5. It’s excellent!

I strongly support our having a speaker’s bureau to speak to students from 8th grade through Grade 16. When I was in the classroom I often found ways to educate secondary level students understand the importance of governing and government.

Recall in December, I’ll look for the date

Are people invited to give short information type speeches at school board meetings? This would be a good way to get permission to talk to classes.

Thank you

Only problem there is that most schools are not welcoming in guest presenters because of COVID.

Kim Wyman is a true Republican. I remember when she was an outspoken opponent of Gov. Inslee. She inherited the mail-in voting system that we fought for and got in Snohomish County. She did not create that system.

I hope that she will do a good job.

I wanted to talk to my granddaughters class (6th grade), and was not allowed in!
