Right wing stupidity in the City of Snohomish.
With no proof, Snohomish event will consider election fraud
SNOHOMISH Days after the 2020 presidential election, with ballot counting under way around the country, Republican state Rep. Robert Sutherland of Granite Falls cried foul.
I want to see every legal vote counted. I will accept either (candidate) if it is a fair election, Sutherland said. I am not at all convinced this is a fair election. I am not sure we can find out the true outcome.
His mind has not changed, even as months have passed and still no proof has surfaced that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump.
Sutherland is not the only one peddling unproven theories of widespread electoral fraud and misdeeds, though. This Sunday hell be one of several political conservatives taking aim at the integrity of ballot counting and results in Washington and other states at a forum at a Snohomish church.

Amid surging cases, nurses and others protest vax mandates
SNOHOMISH In the middle of what local health officials consider a fifth wave of COVID-19 cases, local health care workers and other members of the community lined the intersection of Second Street and Avenue D Thursday evening to protest vaccine mandates.
Many of the roughly 30 protesters, most of whom were unmasked, carried signs. Messages ranged from Our bodies our choice to Masks are child abuse and No jab no job is UNAMERICAN. Some wore Trump hats and carried 13-star and thin-blue-line flags.
On Monday, Gov. Jay Inslee announced that state employees and private health care workers would be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by mid-October or they could lose their jobs. On Thursday, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal asked Inslee for a similar mandate for educators.
Despite the state exceeding the 500,000-case mark on Wednesday, with Snohomish County accounting for over 40,000, discussion of vaccine mandates ignited some locals who are opposed to the COVID-19 shots.
Within the crowd opposing vaccine mandates was a private school administrator and a nursing school student. Those present cited various reasons for coming out to the intersection to wave signs.
