735 is a hell no for me. The left hates citizen united and this is an effort to turn the tide on that front. Corps being able to make campaign donations helps offset liberal groups like unions.

14 is about taxes. I vote against taxes every single time. I don't care if they bill says "a 1 cent tax increase or we start randomly killing innocent children". I'm still voting against the tax. We are already overtaxed by at least 50% and I'll never support another increase for any reason.

For state supreme court, these are Tim Eyman's selections:

Dave Larson -- https://www.larsonforjustice.org/ is challenging incumbent Charles Wiggins (whose top donors are the unions, especially the WEA)

David DeWolf -- https://www.dewolfforjustice.org/ is challenging incumbent Mary Yu (whose top donors are the unions, especially the WEA)

Greg Zempel -- https://www.zempelforjustice.org/ is challenging incumbent Barbara Madsen (whose top donors are the unions, especially the WEA)


My take (not Tim):
I have personally met Mr Zempel and heard him give a talk, and I am voting for him based on what he said.  I haven't met the other two, but based on the job the incumbents have done, I have no qualms about voting the incumbents out.

If our court was made up of people like Zempel we would not have a court dictating legislation, or coming up with its own meanings to the State and Federal constitution to suit an agenda.

Edit: clarification

These are Orin Wells' (a republican in King County) choices from July (before primary, so some may be invalid choices now):

US Senate
Chris Vance - none of the others have any chance

US Congressional District 1
Robert Sutherland (but I have no first hand knowledge here)

Nothing wrong with Scott Sutherland but we can only hope one of these two gets into the top 2 with three Democrats splitting the vote and raising serious money.  So pick one and cross your fingers.

I expect Dave to skate into re-election here.  His major challenger dropped out last week.

Doug Basler

I might just vote yes on 732 given all the butt-hurt created because they failed to consult 'people of color' when they wrote it.

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/carbon-tax-initiative-divides-environmentalists/


Leaders of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy have sought to discredit I-732 in recent weeks. They’ve circulated poll results that suggest it would be rejected by voters. And they’ve argued the initiative is insensitive to communities of color.

Alliance members say they’re working on their own climate-initiative proposal for 2016, one that would divvy up tax dollars differently, include input from a more diverse crowd, and, most important, have a better chance to pass.

The WA AWB is a proposed bill, not an initiative.

To make it worse, it's proposed by the AG (who has no GOP opposition this election) and two safe Democrats who aren't up for re-election.

Doesn't mean they couldn't all be recalled of course.

Lots of court positions open:
Who I'm selecting is in bold, italics and underlined.

Court Of Appeals Div 1, Dist 1
Michael Trickey is running unopposed.  I don't generally vote for those running unopposed.....

Superior Court No 14
Nicole Gaines Phelps - guess I'm voting her based on what Greenspan says below.  Not sure Nicole is awesome, but I know Greenspan is a d-bag.
David Greenspan - says he has zealously defended Occupy and BLM defendants.  buh-bye!!

Superior Court No 26
David Keenan - lists endorsements from the King County Democrats and King Country Labor Council.
John H O'Rourke - incumbent since 2013.  His statement appears to be more impartial than Keenan's.

Superior Court No 31
Marc Stern - this seems like an uphill battle, but his statement is generally OK.  And a judge named "Stern" seems to have a nice ring to it.....
Helen Halpert - 16 year incumbent.  Endorsed by Dow Constantine, Young Democrats and many Democratic legislative districts.  Also endorsed by the Seattle Times and The Stranger.  Sounds like a liberal judicial activist.....

Superior Court No 44
Cathy Moore
Eric Newman (already mentioned somewhere to vote for Eric Newman)

Superior Court No 52
Anthony Gipe - Lots of Democrats are endorsing this guy.  Such as Hasegawa, Habib, Berquist and Hudgins, KingCo Democrats, etc.
Kristin Richardson - Says she has strong bi-partisan support, but doesn't specifically list anyone from either side of the aisle.  26 years as a prosecuting attorney.
Not sure who to pick here......

Superior Court No 53
Mariane Spearman - Incumbent since 2008. Lots of references to endorsements by Democrats, no endorsements noted by Republicans. But wait until you read Cline's comment.
Thomas Cline - This verbatim quote says it all: "There should be an early referral to mental health professionals when any act of violence is tied to mental illness.  This will implement The Brady Act, protecting future victims and the mentally ill themselves."  In other words, he's a gun-control supporter and will use the bench to deny more people their Constitutional rights.
Voting Spearman to cock-block Cline.

A few thoughts on the 19th legislative district

Brian Blake (D) has the endorsement of the NRA and has been one of the strongest supporters of 2nd amendment rights in Olympia. He also happens to be down to earth, well spoken, hard working, intelligent, and I say this as a Republican. I know the man, and he is a keeper.

Jim Walsh (R) is new to the district. He is saying all the right things as far as I am concerned, cares about jobs, supports the 2nd amendment, he will get my vote, and then it is up to him if elected to deliver.

Dean Takko (D) is well known and respected. Dean is also endorsed by the NRA and has been a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment in Olympia. Dean is a get the job done type of guy, I have run into him out in the woods hunting, he is the real deal. Again, I normally vote Republican, and his challenger Sue Pederson may do well if elected, but I will be voting for Takko, he has a proven record and should be retained in office.

A previous post recommended Michael Waite for State Treasurer, he may do fine, but personally I will vote for Duane Davidson (R). I believe Davidson has better government experience and won't have as much of a learning curve in comparison to Waite, and has been endorsed by nearly all the County Treasurers in the 39 Counties of the State. I will  vote for Davidson.

Did anyone read anything about the republican party asking republican voters to register with them to help tracking votes and making more difficult for democrats to pull their usual frauds?

Is it a real thing?   Are they really asking us to register with them?  My wife heard on the radio yesterday.

I do not want to be affiliated.  For example in the primaries I put Bernie and "preferred democrats" just to keep hillary out.  Did not work.

Now I'll vote Trump and follow the other recommendations here.  However, seeing how easy it is to change a vote (just draw a thin line over - really?) I want to make as difficult as possible for the usual frauds.

WA state doesn't register people's party affiliation, so the parties have to manually figure it out on their own.  Presidential primaries DO force people to pick a party, and that information is public, so it is taken in to account who to send mailers to and who to call to ensure they vote, but it is not the only information used.  They're aware some people will vote in the other party's primary to try to influence the election.

Each party can have a Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) for your precinct (an elected non-paid position) and that person is in charge of talking to all the people in their precinct and then recording the political leaning of those individuals.  But I've found hardly anyone knows PCOs exist, and it is a self feeding problem as then nobody signs up to become one, and nobody every makes the rounds in that neighborhood to identify voter preferences, or to help educate them.

For example, King County is made up of ~2500 precincts.  This coming term, only ~500 PCOs are on the books for the republican party.  So each person ideally needs to cover 5 precincts.  A typical precinct is like 100 households, it really depends on density.

In theory "Get out the vote" is supposed to be party agnostic, but in practice each party will target those voters they believe will vote for their candidates.  Democrats focus on women + Seattle + Everett + Tacoma, and Republicans focus on everywhere else.

It is public information once someone has sent in their ballot, so if you send your ballot in you are less likely to continue to be bothered by either party, as they'll know it is a waste of money/time to mail/call/door knock you.

I don't know that "registered with the republicans" will fight fraud.  I guess if 50%+ of the state population did so it would mean something.  I think the real problem is that so many people don't vote, there is ample room for ballot fraud by fraudulently submitting ballots for those people who did not vote.

They did reform the system somewhat since the 2004 gubernatorial race debacle, they now count all the ballots in one location rather than distributed.  So it is harder to "lose/find" ballots, but the mail in system is always going to be somewhat insecure when it comes to what happens to the ballots before they arrive to be counted.

It sounds like you're more concerned about ballots being tampered with once they're submitted - that is less of a concern for me, as there are monitor volunteers from both parties over seeing the ballots and their processing once they arrive.

I think the info for Advisory Vote 15 is backward.  The current state, I think, is that tax preferences are given for "green" vehicles.  Voting "Maintain" keeps these tax breaks, while voting "Reject" makes them go away.  The WA Progressive Voters guide says to vote "Maintain", which to me is an endorsement for REJECT.  This group advises YES to all all of the Initiatives except the Carbon Tax one, which again says to me VOTE NO.

The way these things are written makes it hard to tell, though.  Please tell me if I'm wrong.

If you go to your my ballot page it will tell you if it was accepted (not if it was counted...).

They are also declaring that inslee thing also the winner and, worse that gun-grabbing initiative apparently also passing.

democrats definitely "finding" ballots as fast as they can.  

This place is so tucked-up.


Luckily Trump is getting the Oval Office.

and....

 
1433 is passing, ST3 is passing, etc.




All praise to fucking King County. They're going to possibly fuck over the last check we have by kicking Kim Wyman out of office as well. Having a Republican Secretary of State gives our elections at least the appearance of being legitimate. Flush the toilet on this state.

Yea, WA got F'd this election. Turning more and more blue every election. I can tell there will come a day I will have to move inland more for freedom. Till then i'll keep funding the resistance, but it is disheartening to see so many bad winners this time.

WA gives us a very good idea of what would have been a hillary win today.

God really exists and stopped that plague over the whole country.  We will have to deal with it's minor version here in WA.

It will be a few years, but I'm starting to come up with a plan. It will happen eventually. I was born here, but this is not my state anymore.

Also Ferguson taking 69-30, fuck the fucking fuck, not that I expected him to lose. Fuck him.

Easier to move at this point. Fuck this state.

I'm the unwashed, uneducated despicable (despite supporting Cruz originally) white guy that isn't wanted by this state. Soon.......




The minute my degree gets added to my transcript = I'm looking for opportunities in Wyoming, Montana, Southern Idaho, or even Utah. 15 years is enough time here in WA.

Need to make a stand.  Liberals are literally like the Borg.  They will keep spreading like a plague.

I love this state and have lived here 40 years, but I am done. The wife and I are looking at homes in Idaho and Montana right now. We can't win anymore, so it's time to jump ship and get to a free state. I hate to leave the place that I was born and raised, but it's not the same place anymore, it's going to suck moving to a place that I have no family or buddies.
