		In 2004, Washington joined with 48 other states in nominating candidates by the party primary system, through which adherents of political parties join in primary elections to choose who will be their spokesmen and representatives in the state's general election.
		In the primary election, under Washington 's current party primary law, the purpose of a primary is to allow voters to participate in nominating the candidates of the political party with which the voter feels the greatest affinity.
		Washington rightly has eschewed nonpartisan election for county, state and Federal offices, recognizing that the two-party system has functioned well for the state and the nation.

	Can Kerry get to Washington (D.C.) without winning Washington (state)? By Chris Suellentrop
		In 1976, Washington chose Gerald Ford, and in 2000 it went for Al Gore.
		He notes that in 1996, the Republicans nominated a candidate for governor whose platform was "God's plan for Washington state." Vance has tried to get the Republicans to draft candidates who are more appealing to moderates and independents.
		For the 2004 governor's race, Vance enlisted Dino Rossi, a former state senator who is credited with balancing the state's budget last year,* and Democrats expect the gubernatorial race to be their most competitive.

	Campaign Dynamics and the 2004 Presidential Election
		With the notable exception of the 2000 election, voters have habitually returned the incumbent party to office during good economic times and when the sitting president is relatively popular, and have thrown out the incumbent party during bad economic times and when the president is relatively unpopular.
		In retrospect, it is clear that the 2000 election was one in which the campaign itself heavily influenced the outcome.
		Based on experiences in recent congressional elections, as well as the closeness of the 2000 election, the candidates' organizations, parties, and outside groups are gearing up for major mobilization drives in battleground states this fall.

	Cuban's in the 1996 Presidential Election
		The 1996 election, more than any other to date, may come to be viewed as a harbinger of enhanced cooperation among Cuban-Americans and other Latino groups in terms of the fashioning of political agendas that are in some important respects unified.
		In the wake of the 1996 election, and various policy initiatives that are of particular concern to many Latinos, we may yet see evidence of change with regard to all three of the above criteria.
		The 1996 election results are the most obvious indication of this in that it reversed the overwhelming support Cubans have shown for the Republican party and its candidates in past elections, and was at the least more proximate to the electoral outcomes evident among Latinos at large.

	The Seattle Times: Opinion: How Nader will influence the election's outcome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		WASHINGTON — This is a story about an 8-year-old Boston dinner party, a 3-week-old phone call and something to keep an eye on this fall that could affect the outcome of the presidential race.
		The answer, my informant said, was to lure Weld into a series of debates, and use the debates to force the amiable governor to specify his policy differences with Kerry, thereby defining himself as much more of a conventional Republican than ever before.
		Nader, Patrick Buchanan and another minor-party candidate are still suing the existing commission over their exclusion from the 2000 debates between Al Gore and George Bush, so Nader's interest in the new group, whose leaders range widely across the political spectrum, was obvious.

		The proposal amends Ferndale's city charter to provide for election of the mayor and City Council through the use of IRV pending the availability and purchase of compatible software and approval of the equipment by the Ferndale Election Commission.
		Note that these safe incumbents won in an election where the voter turnout was 50% higher than it had been in 2002 -- but the new voters broke along very similar partisan lines, based largely on the partisan nature of most districts.
		In Washington State, we suspect third party candidates will almost never now be able to contest the November election, and key races will regularly lack a candidate from one of the major parties.

		After the election debacle in Florida in 2000, there was a new law enacted to try to correct a lot of the problems.
		But there's one prevailing improvement in their countries compared to ours, and that is almost invariably around the world, there's a bipartisan or nonpartisan central election commission that sets uniform standards for voting all over the country.
		We are calling on the states to take action, to make sure that every election official in charge of the election is patently nonpartisan and is not taking a highly biased position about who should win an election other than their own election if they are an elected official.

		Republicans are certainly energized over irregularities in the gubernatorial election in Washington, and, according to this post from Dirty Harry, are also interested in the results from Wisconsin.
		In a general, nationwide election, a Californian voting for Bush would be a very small contributor, but a contributor nonetheless.For a Kerry supporter, the view will look a bit different, But effectively any individual vote will have less impact because this state is not "in play".
		The national election has effectively focused into a smaller area; a set of states where the margin between the parties is razor thin.

		Posted by: Tired of all this at June 6, 2005 08:48 AM The Republicans haven't presented any evidence that the 2004 gubernatorial election differed in any way shape or form from any prior statewide election except for how close it was.
		As long as they continue to claim that the elections in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 were conducted flawlessly and in accordance with all legal requirements then I will continue to laugh in their face when they make the exact same claims about the 2004 Washington gubernatorial election.

		In the end Fletcher should be able to hold on for the victory, but he is letting a little too much ride on Kentucky's desire for change in the statehouse.
		In 1996 Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole by less than one percent and that was with Ross Perot receiving 9% of the vote, and in 2000 George Bush crushed Al Gore by 16 points: 57% - 41%.
		However, the term-limited Governor Paul Patton has been enduring a massive sex scandal the last two years and we suspect this will be the final catalyst that will allow the GOP to break the Democrats hold on the Governor's office in Frankfort.
