Sec. of State believes Washington primary will 'shatter' turnout records

[RandySF]

Despite the complaints of party declaration, Wyman does believe this year will set records in voter turnout for Washington state.

“As of yesterday, we’re up to 1.1 million people that have returned a ballot,” she said. “[Four] years ago, we peaked out at 1.4 million, total. … I think we’re going to shatter our turnout for the presidential primary.”

The Washington state primary takes place on Tuesday, March 10. To participate, mailed ballots must be postmarked by March 10 and ballots must have a marked party declaration and valid signature to count in this election. You may register, update your information, and vote in-person by 8 p.m. Tuesday.

2. Our ballots came to us a long time ago, though. I was hoping most people hadn't mailed

them in yet. I waited till Warren dropped out.

5. Right. But when Warren dropped out, suddenly the choice was stark. n/t

3. because this is the first primary....we have always had caucuses up until this election..

...BS won the state back then. It will be interesting to see how it turns out this year. Our ballots are ALL pre stamped mail ins. Voter turnout has no excuse not to be 100% but there are some who are too lazy to mark an X and walk it to their mail box.

6. He won the caucuses by a landslide, but Hillary won the primaries with 53%.

So this will be interesting.

7. Thank God for vote by mail

Many states can ensure that the older and other at-risk populations don’t have to go to large crowded areas but still vote their choice.
