ABOUT THIS STATE

Washington! Here's a fun cautionary tale to tell your friends to scare them: In 2002, a local candidate, Kevin Entze, lost to his opponent by ONE vote. What's worse, his own "close personal friend" actually admitted they never mailed their ballot in time. Brutal. Maybe Kevin was a bad friend. But you're not. Be a better friend to America.
