OP -
I did some work with the election centers in WA this year. Here is a video of what's happening: https://youtu.be/oR8ZRqCmnec?t=109
- The Signature challenge will happen before the envelope is ever opened. They do not have access to the ballot.
- The challenge can be fixed by reaching out to them. There is a form that you have to fill out. If he had an email or phone number on record, they would attempt to reach out to that.
- He has until 11/21(ish) to get this worked out. His ballot is still present and unprocessed. If they get a signature, that's when they'll open up the envelope and send the ballot through further processing. If he addresses the signature challenge his vote will still be counted in this election.
WASHINGTON
KING COUNTY
Vote NO on AT LEAST Charter Amendments number 5 and 6. Voting in favor of either of these amendments would take away power from the sheriff, who is the voter's say in law enforcement. Amendment 5 would make the sheriff an appointed position and Amendment 6 would strip discretion from the sheriff and county. Not good.
Really, all of the Charter Amendments are solid No's. Number 1 isn't bad in theory but it is going to give bureaucrats even more power over the police. Number 2 is horrible - it lets the county sell property for under market value in order to raise funds for homeless programs. Number 3 changes "Citizen" to "public / member of public / resident" within a lot of the charter. Number 4 is supported by Nikita Oliver (who is one of the crazier politicians in the area). Number 7 is fairly benign.
Lot of people saying undercover cop - he's a member of one of the local news team's security crew: https://mynorthwest.com/1902233/watch-security-guard-bravely-disarms-rioters-of-ar-15-in-seattle-protest/
Not a cop - security member of one of the local news teams (Q13). https://mynorthwest.com/1902233/watch-security-guard-bravely-disarms-rioters-of-ar-15-in-seattle-protest/
Putting aside his political bickering with Trump, I've been impressed with Inslee in Washington. He definitely is very risk averse and shut down the state early, but he started with banning large gatherings. He has urged common sense and has even cut back on budget requests so that state reserves can stay high.
If he were president, he definitely would have been more authoritarian (he openly pushes for it in his press conferences), but as a governor he's been ok. Seattle's Mayor and City Council on the other hand have been shutting down parks and pushing for a lot more government control over Amazon and landlords.
Does anyone have a high quality version of this? I'd like to print it out on a 3x5' flag for Thanksgiving.
