Me filling out my primary ballot this week

[bluedye33139]

"Good God, why are there so many people running for governor? ... Inslee. Check. Ok Google, who is the lieutenant governor of Washington? Who is the auditor of Washington? Etc., etc."

I voted for every incumbent Democrat in statewide office, and then in my district, I voted for Armitage even though I'm not fully on board with his campaign. I don't have strong policy problems with him, but he uses a lot of Jacobin language attacking the Democratic party.

However, my current rep is Kathy McMorris Rogers, so literally anyone would be better.

At one point, I pulled up lists from the Seattle PI and weekly to see who they were recommending.

But my goodness there were a lot of people running for governor.

1. It looks like Armitage is dropping out...

3. I sent my ballot in for Elizabeth Warren the day she dropped out

And I delivered my primary ballot Friday, the day he dropped out.

I'm starting to feel unlucky!

4. Well, that sucks for the district...

Not a lot of options there, sadly.

2. I'll probably vote for Kim Wyman. She's a Repub, but she's done well...

IMHO she's handled the voting system well.

Can't see any other R's I will voter for. I kind of hate that so many positions are "non-partisan."

Yeah, I say keep Inslee, he pisses off the Repubs because he's done farily well overall.

Denny Heck for Lt Gov on my ballot.

5. Heck was recommended by one of the papers I was reading

So of course I voted for him. I will vote for any incumbent Democrat usually.

[Wounded Bear]

6. The Seattle Times recc'ed Heck today...

Just read it.

7. Trump emptied out

the lunatic asylums.

8. One candidate was running for the Trump Republican party

They're going to be the Trump party for a couple decades, I hope.

[Turbineguy]

13. How can

an Asian guy graduate from CalTech and get hooked up with the Trump Republican Party? Talk about cognitive dissonance.

9. Yes that was a long list for governor

Some ridiculous ones. A couple that I really can’t stand. Then Inslee he is not afraid of trump I like that.

I found a couple of websites that help with information instead of a lot of trying to dig up articles etc.
Vote411.org sends a list of questions to each candidate. Unfortunately not all answer.
Anyhow the nice thing about that website is it allows you to put two candidates side by side for comparison.
It covers all states and races.

Progressivevotersguide.com will show who they recommend with some info about the candidate.
And then the league of women voters of Washington has some good information
lwvwa.org

10. Thank you. I'll save these websites

I used to go to ballotpedia but they're only good for people who have a history.

[thinkingagain]

11. Your welcome

I’ve used ballotpedia also.
I find they all help a bit.

[Doreen]

12. When they list as nonpartisan it sucks.

They run as nonpartisan but which party do they support? Did they vote Republican or Democrat? I want to know who I vote for is not going to vote for Republican of any kind.

[demigoddess]

14. same here, these days especially, I want a democrat who will not cave to the republicans

I vote democrat, women democrats have priority.
