Reply to comment by Stymie999 in WA voter turnout lagging behind pace of last midterm election by MondayCrosswords

"No exciting referendums or initiatives on the ballot, no Governor or presidential races, and a state where many people have gotten used to the idea it doesn’t matter if they vote, democrats like Murray get auto vote back into office every time."

Maybe this is why the even-year elections initiative is on the ballot...

That is absolutely the reason, yes. But this is an even year - for people not motivated to vote for SoS or Senate, would a vote for county council members really get them to show up?
