Two politicians who stoked distrust about elections are on the ballot in populous Washington counties in coming months, and ordinary election workers could be caught up in the fray.
Washington is a 70/30 liberal/conservative state. Its only recently that dems got a supermajority, as there has always been some degree of “reasonable” republican.
The state had the habit of voting a republican in as the Secretary of state, which whas the case for decades until recently. Washington is a “mail in voting only” state with buckets of armored drop boxes, something both groups used to agree on, and to their credit, many of the republican SOS improved on.
The stateside GOP has gotten more extreme in the last 5 years and are pushing utterly laugable candidates. Culp, the last GOP governor canidate, was the one and only cop in a small rural town. Literally no leadership experience. He failed to even submit a “this is what i stand for” statement for the voting pamphlet and was ultimately fired from his cop job when he was out campaigning instead of working.
