Ok, when I see "Dems" I'm thinking politicians or at least party members, not everyone who voted for a candidate with (D) next to their name, so now your comment makes more sense.

WA isn't nearly as "overwhelmingly blue" as a lot of people seem to think, though. It's basically a couple of blue cities in a sea of red, just like a lot of other states. It usually shakes out to mostly blue statewide candidates, but the margin isn't that big.

It doesn't take a lot of otherwise blue bigots or people confused by the deliberately obfuscated language on the ballot to swing that vote, is what I'm saying. I'm still crossing my fingers that it'll end up failing, since more progressive districts are larger and take longer to count, but even if it fails it would be at a margin closer than I'm comfortable with.

I do suspect that if it passes, it would get repealed in the next election as soon as people realize the implications, but we'll see what happens.
