SEATTLE (KOMO) — Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson addressed recent developments in the state's governor's race Monday morning, days after two [other] people named Robert Ferguson joined the ballot...Right wing activist Glen Morgan posted...he was the "volunteer campaign manager for two of the Bob Fergusons running for governor. They are both superior in every way to the AG running for the same office..." [Wash state has "Top 2" Primaries]

The deadline to withdraw from candidacy is 5 p.m. today.
surly only one of them received endorsement from their party... right?
I"m hoping there is an error in the Sec. of State's office and the real B-Ferg gets dropped. He's one of the most frightening politicians I've ever seen (as in power crazed).
Hey, Bob, how many “o’s” are in ‘Bob’?
Vote for me!! I have 2 o’s
No, Vote for me!! I have 3 o’s
Disclosure = = = I have experience with the spelling of “Bob”, forwards and backwards.
What is the criminal offense? Just having the same name? Don’t get me wrong. This was absolutely trolling at its finest. But illegal?
How do you “confuse” somebody that hasn’t got a clue anyway?
In the latest season of Fargo, three fake candidates changed their names to the current sheriff to undermine his election. I thought that was a unique tactic.
I wonder if the AG has the power to indict someone of the same name from running for his desired office? YES. It is a blatant election interference, but that doesn’t matter. I wish my name were Bob Ferguson so I could run against him. He is a rat faced bastard. He is even more dangerous than Jay (the idiot) Inslee. That’s okay, I hope to be able to vote in AZ come November.
I would like to know how it is a crime for someone with the same name to run for office?
Yes, the "real" Bob Ferguson was endorsed.
But, that Bob Ferguson must come in first or second in our "Jungle" Primary.
On the Primary ballot, all three Bob Fergusons would appear exactly the same way: "Bob Ferguson - Prefers Democratic Party"
That's easy...
The state Attorney General and Governor are Democrat, the state Supreme Court is 100% Democrat, and every elected or legally appointed job in King County is Democrat.
LawFare!
Will the real Bob Ferguson please stand up!
A person is guilty of a class B felony punishable according to chapter 9A.20 RCW who files a declaration of candidacy for any public office of:
(3) A name similar to that of an incumbent seeking reelection to the same office with intent to confuse and mislead the electors by taking advantage of the public reputation of the incumbent.
Bob Ferguson sucks! Not like that other guy, Bob Ferguson...

Hello fellow Washingtonians,
It is with a heavy heart, and under duress, that I am withdrawing from the Governor’s race. For 20 years, I wore the uniform of the U.S. Army and defended this great nation. I am, and will always be, grateful for the opportunity to serve and work alongside great many Americans that also wanted to protect this country. At the time, little did I know that the greatest threat to my family and myself would come from another that also carries my name.
After my candidacy was announced, I was faced with harassment and legal action if I did not withdraw from the race. I was publicly labeled a “threat to democracy” by another candidate and his supporters. In a typical hypocritical fashion, this other candidate’s actions are the true threat to democracy. I believe this shows that the other candidate fears he has not effectively done enough to stand out, or that he thinks voters are not competent enough to think for themselves. The threats made to my family and I, along with the shady tactics used to deliver messages, do not frighten or intimidate me. It is unfair to my family, friends, and supporters to deal with bullish behavior by someone that is too afraid to stand toe-to-toe with me.
For that reason, I rescind my candidacy.
At this time, I do not offer an endorsement for any other candidate. I hope that every voter will use logic and reason when casting their votes. And that you choose who is best for you, your family, and your values. I feel that the current administration, and all associated with it, have shown numerous times that they do not care about the voice of the people. They continuously feed us scraps to keep us content, while only pushing their personal agenda. Car tabs, anyone? I do not think that the current Attorney General will be any different as Governor. Our state is the finest in the nation, but hangs precariously on the edge of sinking under poor leadership.
I wish you all the best, and urge you all to make your voices heard!
Sincerely,
Robert Ferguson

28 or 29 candidates for governor. The other Bob Ferguson is still showing on the list.
I doubt he pressured the other 2 Bobs directly but had one of the dozens of tax payer paid lawyers in his office make a call.
He makes the NY, NYC and GA prosecuting attorneys look like amateurs
Hilarious! The Democrats don’t know whether to spank or go blind.
