Secretary of State – Vote for Sam Reed (Incumbent, Republican)

Seattle Times: Reed
Post Intelligencer: Reed

Yeah, I know he’s a Republican, and not only that, he graduated from WSU. And I’m still voting for him.

What does the SecState do, you ask? Manage elections. From the PI Editorials:
Managing Washington state's elections requires solid professional oversight,fairness and openness to differing ideas…That's what the public has in its current leader.

From the Seattle Times Editorials:
He is methodical, steady and refreshingly nonpartisan in carrying out official duties of his office.

Sam Reed: Will bring you the most comprehensive election information in the country. Brings experience and qualifications and a reputation throughout the state as someone with integrity. Supports the new top-two primary format. Supports law requiring ballots to be received by election day (many states already require this).

Jason Osgood: Believes unique bar codes on our ballots violates voter privacy. Brings change after having Republicans in this position since 1964. Doesn’t support the new top-two primary in its current form. Opposes requiring ballots to be received by election day.
