How the Washington state voter guide became a 110-year Democratic tradition

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Starting next week, many Washington counties will send out voter guides for the state’s Aug. 6 primary.

The sometimes 100-plus-page pamphlets are the pride and joy of many Washington election officials, providing free information on candidates, ballot measures and election resources directly to voters’ mailboxes.

Though what’s in the booklet, how much it costs and who sends it out has changed since the first one was delivered 110 years ago, the goal is the same: to inform voters.

“This is a really important piece of literature for candidates and voters,” Thurston County Auditor Mary Hall told the Standard.

2. Mine is an invaluable guide for voting.

Especially in non-partisan races. I look to see who has endorsed the candidates, and use that as a guide to voting for or against them.
