Here’s what’s happening in the increasingly-Leftist state of Washington. The Democrats are just a few Senate seats away from a super-majority in both houses of the legislature. That would essentially make the Republican Party irrelevant, and allow the Democrats to make Washington a Socialist State.
Oooh, late arriving mail ballots in Washington State.
Lotta cheatin’ going on here. As is usual, the vast majority of “late-arriving” ballots are 100% Democrat votes.
Washington State
THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM
Nov. 12, 2026
"Privileged access to early voting tallies allows fraudsters to compare actual vote tallies with projected vote tallies and order fake ballots to be injected into tally … no recount would ever detect that."
The Public has next to no access to ballots at ANY stage of an election. Here’s the reminder of what we are allowed to know about the elections held in our state.
So the Democrat Secretary of State can prevent the public from observing or even KNOWING what goes on around elections, which allows massive cheating.
Washington State QUASI BAD TO HORRIBLE Washington House member unseats fellow Democrat to join Senate Rep. Cindy Ryu drew pushback for challenging Sen. Jesse Salomon. She’s now ousted him. Nov. 12, 2026 While Washington’s Senate Democrats didn’t lose any seats this year, one incumbent did fall to a member of his own party. State Rep. Cindy Ryu, D-Shoreline, defeated two-term Sen. Jesse Salomon, also a Democrat from Shoreline, in the 32nd Legislative District. Votes are still being tallied, but Ryu has a comfortable lead of more than 3 percentage points, or nearly 2,100 votes.
Ryu is considered more progressive than Salomon, though the incumbent often voted with his party on the most contentious policies, such as the income tax on high earners, limits on residential rent increases and unemployment benefits for striking workers. However, Ryu attacked Salomon for voting against a lower rent cap. Ryu has said she supports lowering the million-dollar threshold for the income tax to $250,000, while Salomon argued the Legislature “blew a long-term opportunity” by not dedicating enough of the tax’s proceeds to tax relief. The campaign was an expensive one, with Ryu raising $364,000 to Salomon’s $314,000. Salomon was also the beneficiary of $395,000 in independent spending supporting his campaign, mostly from business-aligned groups.
Over $49,000 was spent backing Ryu, most of it coming from the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington. “I want to thank the voters for their support and for placing our communities’ needs at the core of this campaign, despite hundreds of thousands of dollars in outside spending. I am honored to serve as their next Senator,” Ryu said in a statement. “The results so far in this race show that our elections cannot be bought and the voters of the 32nd Legislative District remain committed to progressive policies, including capping rent, helping small businesses and workers thrive, and ensuring our schools are fully funded.” An endorsement from right-wing commentator Brandi Kruse backfired and hurt Salomon’s chances, said Sen. Manka Dhingra, who chairs the Washington Senate Democratic Campaign committee. “I think that probably played a big role,” Dhingra said. “When she ended up endorsing in that race, I remember thinking ‘Uh oh, that’s done now.’”
Salomon didn’t respond to requests for comment. When Ryu announced her campaign last year, Senate Democratic leaders bristled. Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen, of Seattle, was frustrated that Ryu was wasting resources that could be spent elsewhere by challenging a fellow Democrat. “My personal belief is that as the leader of the caucus, I am going to be loyal to and stand up for any member of my team,” Pedersen said this week. But Pedersen called Ryu a “valued colleague,” and that she’ll now get the same loyalty when she joins the caucus. “I met with her early on and told her if the voters of her district elected her that she would be our colleague and we’d be happy to work with her, as well,” he said.
The campaign committee doesn’t spend money protecting incumbents like Salomon in intra-party battles. Salomon also got into the Senate by defeating a Democratic incumbent, Maralyn Chase, in 2018. Ryu has been in the state House for 15 years, and is the chair of the Technology, Economic Development, and Veterans Committee. Before that, she was the mayor of Shoreline. Her bid to unseat Salomon meant her House seat was left open. Attorney Danica Noble defeated Shoreline City Councilmember Keith Scully in the Democrat-on-Democrat battle to replace Ryu.
The 32nd District is safe territory for Democrats, and includes northwest Seattle, Shoreline, Lynnwood, Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace. While Democrats in the state House achieved a two-thirds supermajority in this election, the balance of power in the upper chamber will likely remain the same, with 30 Democrats and 19 Republicans.

QUASI BAD TO HORRIBLE
Washington House member unseats fellow Democrat to join Senate
Rep. Cindy Ryu drew pushback for challenging Sen. Jesse Salomon. She’s now ousted him.
The Democrats everywhere will only accept an election loss if it was a Republican or Initiative loss. They simply cannot accept that voters did not want what they were selling. Must have been a mistake; the people didn’t know what they were voting for; we must have complete control so we will overturn the verdict of the Citizens of Washington.
Washington, although not certified yet, has 20,000 more votes than ballots cast? https://t.co/Dx4KswBdQn
Media coverage of Radical Left candidates elected in central WA. Excerpt: Walsh called the result “disappointing.” “The people of the Yakima Valley lost two outstanding legislators because of [left-wing judge Robert] Lasnik’s Seattle politics,” he said. “It’s a shame. It’s a bad thing, and in two years it’s going to be a much different story for the 14th.”

Walsh is the Chairman of the Washington Republican Party.
Aside from all the dubious claims being made, WA voters should take special note of 1.8. It is the Hobson’s choice of initiatives. If you pass something comprehensive like I-2066 to take down years of legislation & regulation built towards a single goal, like eliminating nat gas, then the Supremes overturn it via “single subject.” And in this case, when you address a specific issue, girls sports protection, they claim it conflicts with a myriad of laws and regulatory action and can’t be implemented. Heads the special interests win, tails the voters lose.

How the Democrats maintain Absolute Power in Washington.
Now, on the Social Scene. That no boys in girls sports initiative that won handily, and the Democrats have vowed to overturn? The Democrat Socialist Attorney General has a huge conflict of interest, so he hands the Defense to an “Outside Law Firm.” Well, well, what do we have here?
Remember when I said we’d be watching, Nick?
Well, we watched.
AG Nick Brown just handed the I-638 defense to an outside law firm, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner.
That same firm’s website brags that it represents WPATH, the transgender health group, in its fights against red-state attorneys general.
The state already has a contract with this firm worth up to $2.5 million. The price for defending I-638? Not released.
The AG’s office is full of lawyers we already pay. Now we pay for outside ones too.
56% of voters said protect girls’ sports.
Do you trust this defense, Warriors?

The Outside Law Firm has an even bigger conflict of interest!!! There’s no way that the People’s Initiative will get a fair hearing, when the supposed defense team in playing for the ones who want to overturn it!!!
Washington State Nov. 11, 2026 Maybe liberal Californians moved to Washington State. But Communism has been in Washington State for a long time. Have you read the history of Washington State from the early 1900s??
— Communism made a larger impact on Washington than almost any other state. “There are forty-seven states in the Union, and the Soviet of Washington,” Postmaster General James Farley joked in 1936. The remark, for all its exaggeration, had some foundation. The Communist movement, founded in 1919, caught on quickly in the Pacific Northwest, picking up members from the fading Industrial Workers of the World and Socialist Party. In the 1930s the CP played key roles in the strikes and campaigns that built some of the region’s most powerful unions and used that base to influence other institutions.

NOTE: 1919 was the year that the Washington State Legislature passed a bill “legalizing” Labor Unions.
WELCOME TO THE SOVIET OF WASHINGTON On May 24, 2002, Walt Crowley delivered the following historical “primer” on Washington state politics to the Western States Caucus of the Democratic National Committee held in Seattle. The talk reviews the evolution of the state Democratic Party and allied progressive and populist groups from the 1850s forward.

Self-identifying communist state Rep Shaun Scott, Rep. Shaun Scott will be leading University of Washington students & baristas at a rally demanding university leaders cut ties with Starbucks
The “Boycott Starbucks, stand with workers” is in advance of the coffee giant’s busy Red Cup Day promotion
Last year, the Ventifada protest occupied the area in front of the corporate headquarters and multiple locations
Katie Wilson, on the day she was elected mayor, joined the protests and called for a boycott of Starbucks.
Shortly thereafter, the coffee giant closed multiple stores, including high-performing ones that were unionized, laid off workers, and announced a new corporate headquarters in Nashville
HOW MANY STORES WILL STARBUCKS CLOSE NOW?

Washington’s Supreme Court spent Tuesday morning on a plan that would cap bail at $200 for most misdemeanor crimes. If judges also have to accept a 10% deposit, some defendants could walk out for $20.
This is not a bill. The Legislature is not voting. Public defenders asked the court to rewrite the rules itself.
The hearing lasted more than two hours. The courtroom was packed. Justices are not expected to announce a decision for weeks.
What the rules say now
Under the current court rule, bail for a misdemeanor is set at $500. For a gross misdemeanor, it is $1,000. A judge can set a different amount for good cause. Judges now set bail based on a “likely failure to appear” in court.
What they want instead
The proposal would cap bail at $200 for most misdemeanors when the issue is whether the person will show up. DUI, domestic violence, charges with a sexual motivation, and unlawful firearm use would be excluded. There is no cap proposed for felonies.
The standard would get harder too. Judges would have to find a “high likelihood of willful flight from prosecution,” not just a likely failure to appear. The Washington Superior Court Judges’ Association says that bar is difficult to meet at a first appearance. The association urged the court to reject the plan, arguing it “sharply” constrains judicial discretion.
The proposal also creates a “strong presumption” that a defendant can post 10% of the bail amount with the court, and get that money back if they follow the rules. Ten percent of $200 is $20. Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney James Kennedy told the justices people would be more likely to commit more crimes if they can get out of jail for $20.
The proposal would also give an accused person at least one chance to appear out of custody before the court can impose bail.
Who lined up where
The plan came from public defense offices in King and Snohomish counties, the Washington State Office of Public Defense, and the Washington Defender Association. The ACLU of Washington supports it. Defenders argue poor people sit in jail before trial because they cannot afford bail, even though they are presumed innocent.
Prosecutors and crime victim advocates opposed it. King County Prosecutor Leesa Manion said the change would effectively cut court-ordered bail by 90% and lead to a “significant” number of people bonding out. She argued bail bond companies help make sure defendants come back to court.
Kennedy was blunter. “When I-5 public defenders say ‘jump,’ this court responds with ‘how high.'”
A letter from Republican legislators said the court was going “beyond procedural rulemaking” and raised “serious separation of powers concerns.” That is the part that should bother people who care about who writes the law in this state.
What to watch
The court’s rulemaking committee still has to send a recommendation
Whether the justices adopt the $200 cap, change it, or reject it
Whether “willful flight” replaces “likely failure to appear”
A decision is expected in the coming weeks. No date has been announced.
If judges and prosecutors say this ties their hands, why is the Supreme Court being asked to write the bail rules instead of the Legislature?
