Washington 2020: The Calm Before the Drizzle

Will we be able to gerrymander Washington? Or do you guys use some sort of awful commission?

In my perfect world, a commission would draw all districts across the Fruited Plain, and try to create as many competitive districts as possible as its metric.

Well, of course. But as long as Republicans are going to gerrymander Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, might as well let the Democrats gerrymander a few states to keep it fair.

Is Didier pronounced Did-ee-er or Did-ee-ay?

Wow, marijuana legalization looks like it's going to pass easily (unless the polls are wrong, which is possible).

[Lief 🗽]

I suspect it will. There's no organized opposition beyond a few medical marijuana activists who claim that the proposal includes too much regulation (and they've raised virtually no money).

I guess the religiouses are focusing all their energy against the marriage amendment. Apparently gays are a bigger threat than drugs these days. Who knew.

ADORABLE CHILDREN have voted!

http://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/mock/Results.aspx

Charter schools 50.8%
Gay marriage 67.5%
Marijuana 49.0%
Obama 69.0%
Inslee 57.4%

Schoolchildren split tickets surprisingly often!  Also, amusing how they didn't let those under Grade 6 vote on pot or gay marriage.

That's awesome! Why don't other states do this? Though the fact that your state's schoolchildren oppose the legalization of drugs is troubling news.
