Washington state clarifies what is an 'election'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A new state law aims to erase any confusion about Washington’s ban on voting more than once in an election.

Its approval follows a court decision that officials warned could incite voter fraud.

Longstanding Washington law makes it illegal for a person to cast more than one ballot in any election in the state, or to vote in any election in this state and another state during the same period.

But a state appeals court in January overturned the felony conviction of a Lewis County resident found guilty of voting twice in November 2022 — once in Washington and once in Oregon. The court concluded that because the candidates and measures differed on the two ballots, one could interpret them as different elections under Washington law.

1. That was a ridiculous court ruling that hopefully gets overturned on appeal to the Washington SC

Surprised Oregon courts didn't find them guilty as well
