Please hold the line on state election authority

To: Sen. Pedersen, Rep. Scott, Rep. Macri, Gov. Ferguson

From: A verified voter in Seattle, WA

February 3

Recent federal actions and proposed legislation make it clear that election administration is being politicized in dangerous ways. I want to be very clear: I support Washington State’s constitutional authority to administer its own elections, protect ballot custody, and safeguard voter access—free from intimidation, interference, or unlawful data demands. Please continue to: -- Publicly affirm Washington’s authority over its elections -- Resist federal efforts that override state election law or disenfranchise voters -- Refuse unlawful demands for sensitive voter data -- Prepare proactively to protect election workers, ballots, and equipment in 2026 Please know that your constituents are paying attention and we expect Washington to hold the line. Thank you for defending democratic self-government and the integrity of our elections.
