AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Election Integrity: Federal investigators are probing how 92 King County ballots ended up in a Seattle park dumpster. Elections officials invalidated them and sent replacements; how the mail was discarded remains unclear. Campaign Finance: With big money flowing into state Supreme Court races, Washington’s Public Disclosure Commission lifted late contribution limits just 12 days before Election Day. Ballot Battles: Voters are weighing Initiative 638, which would bar transgender athletes from girls’ school sports and require sex verification; critics say the requirement could create new barriers for girls. Local Votes: Seattle voters will decide whether to raise sales taxes to expand bus service, while Tacoma’s ballot includes a measure requiring landlords to negotiate with tenant unions. Other measures could reshape local government. Turnout: Early voting has reached 15%, ahead of the pace at this point in the 2022 midterms.
