What Washington state legislative races mean for balance of power in Olympia

Some of the biggest congressional district races include District 8, where Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier faces a tough race against GOP challenger Matt Larkin.

People of Washington's lives will be even further ruined but at least all the people in seattle can feel virtuous while it happens.

And if they elect a democratic machine, they can expect more and more taxes.

Washington state is a liberal state, we already knew how this race was going to happen

I started a new country years ago. It's a one nation continent. It's a Noocracy Republic.

Soon will be a single party state, like California and Hawaii.

Now let's have an election without mail in ballots and voting machines

[dskyy]

With the status quo in Washington, Californian share in our condolences.

Olympia is going to hell just like Seattle, it isn't even any fun visiting there anymore.

I hope Sharon Shewmake wins! She’s a great state rep and would be a great senator

These parties want voters? *THEY CAN GIVE THOSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THE POOR.*

[davidpotwin]

It doesn’t matter who voted it only matters who counted the votes ! That’s where the real power is !

[mikedooly]

We are screwed. All we will get is higher taxes, less services, just like in any other socialist country. All of you who voted blue enjoy what you have earned. It's going to be a mess.

how money flip when vote is not baught? how stocks elect when not a vote? no control!

People are voting for higher gas tax, $.46 per gallon on top of some of the highest prices in the country, with some of the worst roads to show for it. With Inslee, a detailed ethics complaint was filed against Governor Jay Inslee and 11 Democrat legislators because they illegally used public property and taxpayer funds and resources to conduct political rallies, and vetoed the $30 tabs, that taxpayers overwhelmingly voted for, while claiming he supports democracy. It’s a joke and would bet that the mail in ballot system has a lot to do with this. It’s ridiculous that the democrats are this blinded by partisan rhetoric.
