R v. R in WA-04 doesn't surprise me at all.

Glad to see Habib and Jayapal winning. And it looks like Wyman might end up coming second in the primary. Should she be worried about that?

[evergreenarbor]

Point taken - though Wyman is running for SOS, so we are talking about two different races.  I honestly haven't followed the SOS or Treasurer race in depth enough to really make any intelligent comment about who will win or lose.

I just think the Treasurer race shows what the "top 2" primary can do.   It can make a party with less votes overall move two candidates to the general election.  Oh well, I guess you get what you vote for.

One of the political science professors I know likes to call those "crapshoot results."

Split field, maybe? He's only getting 20% of the vote - maybe he has a small number of very dedicated supporters.

The difference between Bellingham and Lynden is huge. I wonder if the 42nd is one of the most polarized districts in the state?

Without a doubt.    lol  I just wish it included more of Bellingham.  Obama got a plurality of it's votes last time around, but all of it's legislators are Republicans.  Redistricting after the 2010 wave certainly helped them.

Just so long as it doesn't annex WWU. I like being in the 40th.
