To: American Sovereignty Defender; Prime Choice
The revote provision is contained within Washington State's Constitution. The US Constitution, by contrast, states that federal elections must be held on the same day, thus forbidding any kind of revote in a federal election.

Thus, a revote in Washington State would set no national precedent, nor would there be any applicable state precedents set -- unless other states have a revote provision in their state constitutions.

You said it! And that settles any precedent fear.
