Amboy resident Thomas Schenk discusses the aftermath of the election results in the 3td Congressional District

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.

Don’t run someone who’s sympathetic to Neonazis. And Glusenkamp Perez is not a leftist. You instantly lose credibility when you make such ridiculous statements.
As do you when you drag out ‘Neonazis’.
As do you

Informed voters understand hit pieces and how on the campaign trail a candidate may get associated with someone that was unintentional and must distance. No different than saying something that must be corrected. Marie’s voting record is factual
The opinion piece was asking why Republican voters didn’t vote for Dave Larson, Dale Olson, Pete Serrano…. Do you have an opinion on statewide turnout?
More than likely those that didn’t vote already realize that whatever runs this state operates on the premis that it doesn’t make any difference who votes or how, it’s who COUNTS the votes. I think somebody infamous said that once ….
Please note that not one “republican” won a statewide office….
I voted all Republican voting the last two times voting , No Republican made any thing , so why vote when it doesn’t count.
Exactly.
If the CCRP and CCRW back Van Nortwick and the Oregon sandbagger/backstabber in District 5, it’s time to dump the CCRP and CCRW.
I voted Republican , not one was voted in , why vote when none of your picks make it
thank you

You have to ask why vote when what you are voting for never stands. An example, this year the ban on natural gas, and gas appliances was voted down. Now, the state leftist green weenies in Seattle are trying to get some liberal judges in King County to overturn what we voted for. Dirtbag democrats run the state. We have no chance.
Is the Greater Idaho movement starting to make sense now?
I’m all for it! It would be even better if eastern Washington jumped on the band wagon. Most of the population in the state is the I-5 corridor west. All blue. May never be able to break the liberal gridlock.
I agree, but the earth would have to open up and swallow Spokane first before eastern Washington would be worthy. 😉
