Washington State Constitution and the Rule of Law Obliterated by Leftists

Educate. Advocate. Mitigate. Activate!

Oct 14, 2024

On October 11, 2024, the WAGOP finally had the opportunity to make the case in federal district court to dismiss and reverse a Democrat scheme to destroy the WA State Constitution's provision that a person be a resident of the state for 30 days before registering to vote.

However, we should not be surprised that the same leftist judge that allowed and signed the “consent decree” in the first place, struck down the attempt to get back to the rule of law based on "Timeliness" of the filing…

THIS IS A BLATANT VIOLATION OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION!

FOR REFERENCE SEE: WA State Constitution: Art VI, Section 1 Qualifications of Electors. All persons of the age of eighteen years or over who are citizens of the United States and who have lived in the state, county, and precinct thirty days immediately preceding the election at which they offer to vote…

Also, the sham consent decree included a plaintiff with no real standing and violated state law RCW 29A.08.230 - Oath of Applicant: For ALL VOTER REGISTRATIONS:

I declare that the facts on this voter registration form are true. I am a citizen of the United States, I will have lived at this address in Washington for at least thirty days immediately BEFORE the next election at which I vote

As I explained in my prior articles, the typical Democrat machine playbook ‘tactic’ follows this pattern: Identify states where they control the Governor, AG, and the SoS; find a “friendly” judge; after collusion, sue the state & local elections officers, who agreed prior to put up no defense; proceed to make major ‘settlement concessions’ via the court process that completely alters or eliminates key provisions of election security laws. And if it obliterates the State Constitution and the Rule of Law, then so be it…

This happened in WA State on Nov 20, 2023, when the Leftist Organization Washington State Alliance for Retired Americans via the Leftist Elias Law Group filed their 22-page Amended Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief in federal court, against the Undemocratic-Democrat WA Secretary of State and two leftist county elections officials in King & Thurston Counties.

The complaint (besides Violating the Constitution and State Law) allows the homeless, illegals, newcomers, etc., who arrive in WA State within 30 days of an election to now vote.

The sham (agreed) order was clearly collaborated collusion, obviously orchestrated by both the “Plaintiff” (a biased 501(c)(4) Non-Profit Organization) via Leftist Elias Law Group and Leftist “Defendants.”

The 30-day residency rule is a key security provision intended to afford time for the election officials to review new registrant-applicants prior to the election date.

Let’s hope the WAGOP files an appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

AS A SOLUTION: Allow any newly arriving WA State resident wishing to vote within 30 days before an election to get a Federal-Only Ballot, provisioned upon them declaring that they will not be voting in any other jurisdiction where they previously lived.

OF NOTE: US District Judge James Dever dismissed a federal lawsuit challenging North Carolina's 30-day residency requirement for voters.

Just like in WA, the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, working with Dem operative Marc Elias' law firm, challenged the residency requirement as unconstitutional.
Judge Dever ruled that the retirees alliance lacked standing to file suit, that its claims were not "ripe" for legal action, and that the residency requirement complied with the Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act.
The case is North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans v. Hirsch. Dever’s 34-page order rejected plaintiffs’ arguments on multiple fronts, Dever wrote:

“The Alliance fails to identify any current member of its organization who will be harmed by the 30-day durational residency requirement. None of the Alliance’s ‘approximately 52,000 members across North Carolina’ will be harmed by the requirement that a prospective voter must live in North Carolina for 30 days before an election to vote in North Carolina.”

These so-called resulting ‘Consent Decrees’ must be exposed! They use corrupt partisan hacks in attaining decrees which are key ‘fortifications’ to allow the Dem cheating apparatus to illegally re-write state laws. They bypass all democratic processes, such as legislative and public debate and legislative approval.

LIKE WE JUST WITNESSED: These fortifications include such settlement provisions that make it nearly impossible to timely identify & reverse.

Under the guise of mail-in voting and with current corrupt election laws on the books, it is virtually impossible to stop unlawful ballots from being opened and mixed in with legitimate voters’ legally cast ballots.

Lawfare front-men organizations know it’s too late to remove the illegitimate ballots, since anonymous ballots are co-mingled with legitimate ballots upon separation from their outer envelopes. Also, Leftists know scrapping the entire election is a near-impossible ‘ask’ in court.

In the 2024 WA State primary election, perhaps as few as 49 of these unconstitutionally-cast ballots may have already cost a guaranteed Republican win in this November’s State Commissioner of Public Lands position (See My Prior Substack).

AS A SOLUTION: In the upcoming election, vote for good Republican and Conservatives up and down the ballot, including Republican Secretary of State Candidate Dale Whitaker. Dale will advocate for Election Integrity and help to restore the 30-day residency requirement held in our State Constitution!

Even MORE critical to defeat any possibility of the cheat in 2024, as in prior state elections, is by having an overwhelming turnout at the polls, this includes our Four Citizen Initiatives which are on the very top of the ballot!

This is a war and to win, it is our civic DUTY to vote and better yet, identify at least 10 new voters and get them registered to vote and make sure they all VOTE!
