I would consider this possibly the second most important elected position for hunters in WA, if you have a lands commissioner who is opposed to firearms and hunting and public access by hunters and gun owners, that could be a problem. Ask yourselves what is the track record for democrats in WA in regards to hunting and gun ownership/use of guns?

Maybe the GOP is also looking at the long term impact of King County voters having that option when other counties voters do not? Would the election have been in Pederson's favor if that option was afforded all the other counties voters in the state? Seems pretty unfair to me!

Who says only King has that option?

I thought that was implied, has anyone said King isn't the only county with that option?

So what are you saying?

That it is allowed by the RCW. In fact, the GOP doesn’t bring up the use of electronic verification, but is only challenging the mechanics of the system

Thank you for explaining your thoughts. Obviously I don't know their angle for the suit, it might be interesting to know their strategy? So apparently every county could do that, but apparently they all are not? That still seems unfair on the surface to be happening in one county but not in all counties. I am only guessing, perhaps this is the method the GOP wants to use to challenhge that law if they view it as unfair for whatever reason(s)?

The counties make that choice on how they run their elections individually as per the state constitution. Only eligibility, dates, state wide mail in ballots, and stamp free ballots are state wide as per the state constitution, the US Constitution, the RCW and WAC.

And the very need for a docu-sign type verification is basically inversely logrythmic to the population. Garfield county had 1/1000 (0.1%) of the population of King. Extending that, Garfield may have had one or two questionably signed ballots, and very likely the people were personally known to the county auditors office.

But again, the individual counties make these decisions.

Hundreds of thousands of acres are DNR land leased to farmers for production, Mr. Upthegrove has zero agricultural production experience.  Production agriculture feeds most of the wildlife in Washington. Please vote carefully

Lots of government officials have no clue about their jobs. Still get voted in or hired.!!

I thought the reason the whole state got no stamp required ballots was because King county said they were going to do it and that one county could not offer something to make voting easier than another county?

That seems correct, but not sure what that has to do with the numerically small number of required signature verifications, most of which are Kathy v. Katherine, Mike v. Michael, and Bobby v. Robert.
