Yesterday’s @Crosscut story on #evenyearelections had a revealing quote from @ReaganDunn. He said:
“I think this hurts, ever so subtly, the Republican Party's chances of winning local office.”
That’s an actual quote, folks. You can read it right here:

Essentially, Reagan is admitting his opposition to our charter amendment is based on his belief that more voters participating in county elections — and a more diverse electorate — will make it harder for Republicans like him to win. They insist on a rigged playing field. #waelex
It is important to remember that King County elections are officially “nonpartisan.” No party labels on the ballot. Why is that? Well, a few years back, *Republicans* orchestrated a charter change to remove party labels, hoping it would make them more competitive. It didn’t work.
In recent times, it has become very common for Republicans to project their faults and motivations onto their opponents. They all seem to do it, a lot. But just because they want a rigged playing field doesn’t mean we do. Our goal is inclusion, not helping out a particular party.
