I followed the order on the Franklin County website as I have created these voter’s guides. I shouldn’t have. The Secretary of State is arguably the most important election we have in Washington. Without truth and integrity in Olympia in this office, no one elected to state wide office can be assured they won an election fairly. The new job in the Biden administration for Kim Wyman, our former Secretary of State, raised serious questions about all of the elections in Washington from Governor on down. How did Inslee win while barely campaigning? There’s a Newhouse hit piece commercial on Culp expensing thousands of miles to his 2020 Governor campaign funds. Culp actually traveled the state in an RV with several other vehicles to speak at rallies where hundreds or thousands showed up. Inslee hid in the Governor’s mansion with his mask on. Wyman oversaw this farce, and while the evidence doesn’t exist as far as I know to show a scam in the Governor’s race, it does exist for the national election. True the Vote, the team behind 2000 Mules, has thousands of hours of video. No doubt there’s video from Washington. As I check the candidates, I’m looking for someone who acknowledges the 2020 election, at least, was full of irregularities.
Bob Haglund-Republican– He has an impressive platform: cleaning up voter rolls, routine audits, voter ID (A federal voter ID is a bad idea. Every Washingtonian either has a driver’s license or can get an ID, which solves the problem right there). I sent him an email to ask, but where he falls short is a complete scrap of all voting machines and returning to paper ballots only at a voting center. https://bob4wa.com/
Kurtis Engle- Union– Not sure what the Union Party is. He says he’s only on the ballot to embarrass politicians. Unclear as to what that means. He doesn’t have a website. He’s not a serious candidate by his own admission.
Marquez Tiggs- Democrat- Full stop. Christians shouldn’t vote for any party in favor of murdering the unborn, forced vaccination, open borders, and the destruction of the family. Tiggs also really wants you to know that he prefers to have sex with men. Not sure why the way someone has sex is so important to announce to the world or how it helps you to be the Secretary of State. If that all wasn’t bad enough, he praised the current voting system https://www.electmarqueztiggs.com/
Tamborine Borelli- America First Republican- Not exactly a specific party, but a way to differentiate between RINOs and real GOP. She was on the ACN program, Doug and Marty vs. The World where she shared that she went from being a Bernie Democrat to an America First Republican as she learned of the corruption between Bernie and Hillary in the 2020 primaries— basically that Bernie was Communist shill designed to pull in more communists/Antifa types to the Hillary campaign. Her most visible endorsement comes from Doug Basler. In any event, Borelli is in favor of ending mail in balloting, ending voting machines, and moving back to hand counted paper ballots with signature verification. Though the office she’s running for doesn’t exactly require her to disclose her values because she’s not a law maker, it shows she’s not hiding her values. https://borrelli4sos.com/
Steve Hobbs- Democrat. He was appointed by Inslee when Wyman left for greener pastures in the Biden Administration. The state Republicans were angry because Inslee broke their “deal” and appointed a Democrat to the office instead of the pretend Republican. Wyman was there to give the appearance that the vote was secure… as if to say to Republicans who had likely just been cheated out of an election that someone from their own party was counting the votes, so they should shut up. It was a scam. Hobbs has 2 strikes against him- he’s a Democrat, and Inslee thinks he’s great. 2 strikes, and you’re out in this case. Ok, here’s strike 3, 4, and 5- He’s endorsed by Cantwell, Bob Ferguson, and Gary Locke. Strangely, Jerome Delvin, Republican Benton County Commissioner endorsed him. https://www.electhobbs.com/
Keith Waggoner- Republican– He has it somewhat together. He wants all legit votes to be counted, and all illegal votes to be dropped. He talks about integrity and how important it is to have a Republican Secretary of State. Not sure why that’s so important. The last Republican, Kim Wyman, oversaw the 2020 election, that is, at best, questionable. The Republican before him over saw the 2004 travesty in the governor’s election where Republican Dino Rossi won the election, won the recount, then lost on the second recount by 129 votes when King County mysteriously found a box of ballots. The Republican Sec of State that over saw that nightmare was Sam Reed, who is Waggoner’s main endorsement. Not exactly a badge of honor. https://www.wagonerforsecstate.com/
Mark Miloscia- Republican- Miloscia has an exceptional, and extensive set of ideas from voter’s showing ID, signature verification, and regular auditing of voter rolls. Where he falls short is calling for the end of mail in voting, which makes chain of custody verification impossible. Additionally, he wants an audit of voting machines instead of taking them all to the top of Mt. Rainier, and pushing them off the edge. Voting machines and mail in voting facilitate the steal. He’s on the right track, just not all the way there. https://milosciaforwa.com/issues/
Julie Anderson- Independent- Anderson makes some great points about Secretary of State being a non-partisan office. It makes sense, on the surface, that the overseer of the elections should not be in a political party. However, those who say that have no bias are always lying. Hiding your bias is worse. Just tell us who you favor and let us judge whether your are favoring one party over the other. Its pretty clear, with her attendance at Evergreen State College and being a Board Member of the UW Center for Leadership and Social Responsibility, that she is a Democrat. Digging into her platform, it screams Democrat. She may as well wear a BLM/CRT pin on her lapel. To create the false precept that voter access needs to be improved makes one assume that there are people in this country who want to vote, but can’t. Not one person in the USA is sitting around saying, “I wish I could vote, but I just don’t know how.” If you don’t know, and do nothing, you don’t care, but no one is holding you back. Anderson might be the worst candidate in this field, which, considering Hobbs and Tiggs, is a bold statement. https://julieanderson.org/
The predicted “Red Wave” will be nothing more than a spilled cup of water if the voting system isn’t changed. It doesn’t appear that’s been done. Even in a conservative area like Franklin County, we have a Dominion voting machine! We have a Democrat running the state election appointed by the only governor in the nation who hasn’t given up or made plan to give up his emergency powers. We have the worst governor in the nation that was like elected by fraud. We still have ballots mailed to us. We still have drop off boxes. We still have crooked King County with the highest population full of Democrat leadership. With that said, if we are going to have a chance in 2024, Tamborine Borelli is the only candidate who is willing to end main in ballots and smash the voting machines. Anyone who’s paying any attention should vote for her. Of course, the irony shouldn’t be lost on the fact that we are voting for someone to fix a voting system we all know is broken.
