Time is tight for GOP lawsuit in lands commissioner race [View all]
With only six weeks before voting begins in Washington’s November election, state Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh acknowledged that time is tight for his party’s legal challenge against recount results in the state lands commissioner primary.
On Thursday, the party filed a lawsuit against King County over the use of an online system to aid voters in fixing, or “curing,” signature problems on their ballots, allowing them to be counted. With the lawsuit, the party is trying to get about 2,000 ballots invalidated – more than enough to potentially overturn the primary results.
The party filed the suit in Snohomish County Superior Court. The court had not indicated whether it would expedite review of the case, Walsh said midday on Friday. “We’re asking them for a quick review, but that’s up to the court,” he said.
Critics of the suit are trashing it as a desperate attempt to cast doubt on the outcome of a race where the votes have already been tallied twice statewide – once in a hand recount.
