In the aftermath of Republicans once again losing the 3rd Congressional District race to a bona fide progressive Leftist, we need to come to grips with the reality that forty to sixty thousand Republicans did not vote in the 2022 and the 2024 election.
These numbers might be off by a few thousand here or there, but of significance is the fact thousands of Republicans didn’t vote. Why?
It’s a rhetorical question, because I believe there is more than one answer, but it is imperative Republicans find out the why of it.
My opinion is there are mainly two reasons for the non-voting by Republicans.
One, I believe, is informed voters eschew Establishment Republicans deciding what candidates THEY want running in various counties of Washington State. The reasoning being candidates who are too conservative won’t win, but if they do, those conservative voices will challenge the status quo in Olympia.
Second is mail-in voting, which lends itself to cheating on scales so large it seems unlikely. In Clark County, we must ask why Greg Kimsey refuses to “clean” the voter rolls and is it the prevailing practice by officials in other Counties.
Are “uncleaned” voter rolls used to create ballots, thus overcoming potential Republican victories in demographically important counties where these unlawful ballots may decide state-wide elections?
Why didn’t one Republican get elected to a State office…not even for Land Commissioner, one the least significant State offices?
A lawsuit, filed by WAGOP on behalf of Brad Benton, who ran for State Senator in the 18th Legislative District may answer that question. The lawsuit alleges at least one thousand or more ballots were sent to voters who no longer lived in the 18th LD, but who, apparently, voted unlawfully in the 2024 election.
Mr. Benton, allegedly, lost the election by 172 votes. It’s easy to see a thousand unlawful ballots may have had a significant impact on this race.
Is it any wonder many Republicans have decided mail-in voting is a useless endeavor and why should they waste their time and energy to vote in rigged elections.
It is imperative Republicans stand shoulder-to-shoulder and vote for the candidate appearing on our ballots…doing less gives Democrats exactly what they want…the freedom to stick their hands in the pocket of every Washingtonian and spend every nickel of our money they can appropriate, without any dissent.
