Description

The Washington State Republican Party is suing King County elections after over 2,000 challenged ballots were cured using a third-party website. The lawsuit follows a hand recount of the closest primary race in Washington state history that saw a Republican candidate lose out on a spot running for Commissioner of Public Lands in the general election. Democrat Dave Upthegrove and Republican Sue Kuehl Pederson were separated by just 51 votes at the certification of the primary race for Commissioner of Public Lands, which triggered an automatic hand recount. When that recount was certified on Wednesday, Upthegrove came out 49 votes ahead, securing his spot facing off against Republican Jamie Herrera-Butler in November.
