Presidential primary is a hit with voters in both parties

EVERETT — Washington’s presidential primary is inciting strong interest among voters in both political parties — and anger among those who don’t want to swear an oath to either.

Ballots for the March 10 election went out last week and 53,663, or 11.2% of registered voters, had been returned in Snohomish County as of Thursday morning. At this pace, turnout will far exceed the 32.5% recorded in 2016.

“It’s exciting to see people are participating this early in the process,” said county Auditor Garth Fell.

Across the state, nearly 422,000 votes had been cast as of late Wednesday, or 9.4% of registered voters. That’s nearly four times the amount at this juncture in 2016, said Secretary of State Kim Wyman.

in order to help Trumper. Not sure if they are smart enough to change party and then back again, but who knows. I am amazed at the people in our party who cannot figure out WHY they want him as an opponent.

I can see it now 30 percent of registered to the Democratic Party want Donald trump. Good grief that’s all we need.
