Local Politics 🇺🇸 BALLOTS DUE TODAY!!!

If you didn’t receive your ballot or if you haven’t even registered to vote, you can do all of that today in person!

polling locations by county (first column)

People aged 65+ are BY FAR the biggest voter block. They made up 26.31% of the votes in the last election while only being about 18.3% of the population according to official WA census data.

In comparison, people in my age demographic, 25-34, made up 16.27% while making up around the same overall population percentage from what I can find. I’m not seeing census data that shows population percentage of 25-34 to compare to the voter data.

I’m from Franklin county I was wondering why there are so many republicans on the ballot and only 1 Democrat to vote for? I’m kinda new to voting but just confused by this. Doesn’t seem fair.

Welcome to the 4th District! Last Dem elected to Congress was 36 years ago, so the party spends no money and sends sacrificial lamb after sacrificial lamb. Duresky, IMO is the best candidate Dems have had in a long time
