Alan McConchie<p>Now that ballots are arriving in Washington State, please check out the FairVote Washington candidate endorsements, especially for the very important Whatcom County Charter Review Commission: <a href="https://fairvotewa.org/candidate-recognition-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fairvotewa.org/candidate-recog</span><span class="invisible">nition-2024/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://subdued.social/tags/WhatcomCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhatcomCounty</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/WashingtonState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WashingtonState</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/wapoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wapoli</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/waelex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waelex</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/FairVote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairVote</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/FairVoteWashington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairVoteWashington</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/FairVoteWA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairVoteWA</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/RankedChoiceVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RankedChoiceVoting</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/BellinghamWA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BellinghamWA</span></a></p>
Alan McConchie<p>I dug into my archives and found this map I made of 2016 election results aggregated by the (then) new Whatcom County council districts introduced in 2017. Gives a rough sense of the political alignment in our small county here in the northwest corner of Washington State.</p><p>I need to update this map with new data from all the elections since 2016, obviously, but it's a hassle to work with the precinct level results. Soon.</p><p><a href="https://subdued.social/tags/wapoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wapoli</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/waelex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waelex</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/WhatcomCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhatcomCounty</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/Whatcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Whatcom</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/BellinghamWA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BellinghamWA</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a></p>
Alan McConchie<p>People forget that Gov Inslee appointed Hobbs to Secretary of State to get him out of the way in the <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/WALeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WALeg</span></a> because he was such an obstructionist. Now, no surprise, he's being an obstructionist in the SoS office.</p><p><a href="https://www.theurbanist.org/2024/02/11/op-ed-state-secretary-hobbs-is-wrong-to-oppose-ranked-choice-voting/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theurbanist.org/2024/02/11/op-</span><span class="invisible">ed-state-secretary-hobbs-is-wrong-to-oppose-ranked-choice-voting/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://subdued.social/tags/WAPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WAPoli</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/Washington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Washington</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/WashingtonState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WashingtonState</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/RankedChoiceVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RankedChoiceVoting</span></a></p>
