The Good: Washington is 100% Paper Ballot.¹
The Bad: Washington is 100%¹ mail-in ballot, which degrades the integrity and security of paper ballots.
Neutral: In a Presidential Primary only the Democratic and Republican candidates appear.
The Ugly: Washington requires you to declare which party you're voting for²...
The Loathsome: ...on the outside of the mailing envelope. (Check a box and sign it, on the outside for all the world to see.)
- It is possible to request an account to vote electronically. I have no idea how many have availed themselves of this.
- We are not registered as members of that party, simply declaring on the primary ballot who we're voting for.
Now, the Republican Party of Washington is fine with doing away with the declaration, and failing with their attempt to eliminate it, to make it a private thing.
The Democratic Party of Washington refused -- and the Democrats have solid control of Olympia.
The Secretary of State announced she would not be voting "due to privacy concerns."
And, since the ballots are printed with the list of candidates the party designates in early January or February, it may well be inaccurate by March. In the case of the Democratic roster this year, it still included all those candidates no one ever heard of, as well as the three who are still in the race.
Three? Why, yes, Hawaii's Tusli Gabbard has not dropped out yet. (Unless I missed a very recent development.)
And yet, all the DNC Mandarins and the Mainstream Media (but I repeat myself) are wailing because of the sexism which resulted in Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren, who couldn't even win her own home state, dropping out.
Do they hate Tulsi because she's young? Because she's a veteran? Because she's a Pacific Islander...?
