House votes to make Pierce County vote entirely by mail

By Joe Turner

That's what House Bill 1572 would do, and it was passed by the House today on a 54-43 vote.

Right now, Pierce County is the only remaining outlier, the only county that still lets some voters cast their ballots at the polls once in a while. And they are likely to keep allowing that if this bill fails to pass the Senate.

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

State Rep. Dennis Flannigan (D-Tacoma) will begin his campaign for re-election to a fourth term in the 27th District Wednesday, but the event is not just about him. Checks will be written and speeches given, as at any campaign kickoff, with the key difference being that Flannigan's kickoff is a fundraiser not for his campaign, but for the victims of the recent earthquake in the Szechuan province of China.
