Voters' Pamphlet Dear Pierce County Resident: As we prepare this Primary Voters’ Pamphlet, the first for the 21st Century, let us reflect back on the past 100 years. The beginning of the 20th Century found us voting on paper ballots with locked boxes as the only security. Ballots were tallied by hand and in many locations learning the results could be as long as a month after the election. In the 1930’s the lever machines made their debut and in Pierce County they remained until 1992 when they were replaced with the OPTECH III-P Eagles and IV-C’s. 1971 brought the 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution which legally changed the voting age from 21 to 18. Although it was believed that more youth would vote with the lowering of age it has not proven to be. Our youth remain the age group that has the lowest number voting. 1992 was the year of change. Congress passed the National Voter Registration Act. Motor Voter and mail-in registration became the law along with ongoing absentees. Pierce County purchased the OPTECH III-P Eagles to process and tabulate the ballots from the polls and IV-C’s for the absentees. Between 1992 and today over 61% of all registered voters have chosen to vote by ongoing absentee ballot and out of those receiving their ballots by mail 74% to 86% vote in all elections. Pierce County has the highest voter turnout in the State. What’s next? Limited trials are being conducted on internet voting at this time, but many questions remain unanswered because security of the vote must be protected. As we reflect back over the last 100 years it’s fun to imagine what the next 100 will bring. The Pierce County Election Department is and has been on the cutting edge of security, accountability and voter turnout. They are a great group of employees and all Pierce County residents should be proud to have them serving you. If you ever have any questions, please give me a call at (253) 798-3189 or drop by our Election Center at 3009 South 36th Street to see the voting process firsthand. It’s open five days a week, ten days before and after a Primary or Special Election, and fifteen days before and after a General Election. Make Democracy work - Vote.

As more fully demonstrated below, the Commission should find no reason to believe that respondents have committed any violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 197 1, as amended, (the “Act”) or of the Commission’s regulations and close this matter as expeditiously as possible. I. Factual Background In the 2000 elections, the Senate race in the state of Washington produced the closest Senate race in the nation. Maria Cantwell, an executive with the new technology company Real Networks and a former congresswoman fiom the first district of Washington challenged incumbent Senator Slade Gorton. Eschewing special interest money in the form of PAC contributions and making early passage of campaign finance reform a central theme of her campaign, Cantwell largely self-financed her race. When she entered the race in January 2000, the so-called new technology economy was still riding high, as reflected in the stock prices of companies such as Real Networks.

    The Seattle Times Local News Thursday, March 29, 2012 - Page updated at 11:30 p.m. Why Washington state's health reform faltered after loss of mandates By Carol M. Ostrom Seattle Times health reporter As the U.S. Supreme Court tackles the question of whether individuals can be required to buy health insurance — a key provision in the federal health-care overhaul — some in Washington state are battling a strong sense of déjà vu mixed with dread. They remember 1993, when state lawmakers passed a comprehensive state law aimed at insuring everyone and spreading the health-care expenses of the sickest throughout a large pool of policyholders. But the law, which relied on both mandates and incentives, was soon dismembered, leaving only popular provisions, such as prohibiting insurers from denying coverage to sick people or making them wait many months for coverage. Without any leverage to bring healthy people onto insurance rolls, insurers, left with the priciest patients, began a financial death spiral. Ultimately, companies pulled out of the individual market and almost no one in Washington could buy an individual policy for any price. For those involved, the lessons learned remain sharp as a scalpel. "It's the same thing we're very likely to face if the Supreme Court blows a hole in the current law," warns Randy Revelle, a former King County executive who was heavily involved in the state effort nearly two decades ago. Unlike the debate going on in the high court, the lessons here don't involve constitutional questions. They're all about the realities of the health-insurance market and politics.

  • Policy Brief
    PPOOLLIICCYY BBRRIIEEFF Elections By Plurality A Multi-Party System and the Grange Initiative By Richard Derham, Research Fellow February 2001 ______________________________________________________________________________ P.O. Box 3643, Seattle, WA 98124-3643 • 888-WPC-9272 • www.washingtonpolicy.org POLICY BRIEF Elections By Plurality A Multi-Party System and the Grange Initiative by Richard Derham, Research Fellow February 2001 Executive Summary Should voters replace the state’s unconstitutional blanket primary with a multi party general election scheme in which elections by a mere plurality would become the norm? That is the proposal advanced by the Washington State Grange in Initiative 751 filed in January 2001. The initiative would, alternatively, establish a multi-party election in which, potentially, two Republicans and two Democrats would advance to the general election ballot. Or, if the courts invalidate the multi-party scheme, it would transform Washington State’s partisan elections into contests in which the general election would become a contest between the three candidates getting the most votes on a primary election ballot regardless of party affiliation. This Policy Brief reviews the Grange Initiative and will: • Describe the provisions of both multi-party and multi-candidate elections as proposed. • Analyze the impact of the initiative on elections in Washington State, including an examination of how it might have changed the results in recent elections. • Review the assertions by the Grange that Washington’s constitution has a provision regarding “ballot secrecy” that conflicts with the constitutional claims of political parties to know which voters choose to affiliate with their primaries.
