Does the Washington law have any unusual features that may tend to increase spoilage in our primary?

Yes. In all states with a similar primary, if the voter does not “pick a party” but proceeds to vote a straight party ticket, the votes will count as the voter’s intent is clear. Washington’s statute has a specific provision that provides that if the voter does not “pick a party”, no partisan votes will count. Thus, the importance of the voter picking a party in our primary is critical.
