The Primary Election will decide this election
I’ll be voting for Paul EveryHope over Dave Quall for State Representative in the 40th District. Quall willingly participated with the secret deal of giving us this horrible Primary Election process.

The Primary Election will decide this election. Why? No Republican filed and the new - screwed up - primary election will be between the only two people who filed - two Democrats. As such, if you vote the Democratic ballot then you don't have to worry about whether EveryHope can hold off a Republican challenger - the usual reason for not voting out the tired incumbent and giving a vigorous and energetic newcomer a chance.
If EveryHope wins the Primary then he wins the election. And Quall has to blame himself for this absurd process. It is humorous that the first - and apparently the most important - the Herald can say about Quall is he is experienced and has seniority. Well, that is true of the person in for 2 years and being challenged.
By the way, Republicans who want to screw up the Democrats will use the Democratic ballot. Democrats cannot do the same because they have very close primaries. Virtually no Republican is in a close race but Republicans can vote for the weaker Democrat for Governor and a few other statewide offices. With the new system, the Republican party bosses have been quicker to set things up so they emerge stronger for the General Election. Rossi will easily be the Republican candidate and he would prefer to run against Sims than Gregoire. And regardless of hopes, none of the Republican candidates will unseat Larsen. The new primary process is an open sandbox for mischief.
