Let me explain something that is typical of politicians in this state.
“.....n April 19, 2005, King County is officially renamed in honor of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) when Governor Christine Gregoire (b. 1947) signs into law Senate Bill 5332. The signing and ceremony take place at the King County Courthouse in Seattle.........King County was first named in 1852 in honor of William Rufus King, who had won election that year as Vice President on the Democratic ticket with President Franklin Pierce. In 1986 the King County Council passed Motion No. 6461, which named the county to honor civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. instead of Vice President King.......”
The Soviet of Washington is about as blue a state as one can get. The State Legislature is dominated by the Democratic Party and almost all elected officials at the State Level have been Democrats for decades.
Ah, “the Soviet of Washington,” named as such by James Farley, FDR’s Postmaster General and political fixer. It was one of only two states that experienced general strikes, and there was a large contingent of the International Workers of the World in that state. That led to the slaughter in Centralia just after World War I.

The word ‘elected’ needs to be defined in WA Democrat terms:
We count votes till we are ahead. That ... is ... all.
