Washington State Has Republican-Democratic Monopoly for All Statewide and Congressional Elections for First Time in its History
October 5th, 2008
Ballot Access News
Washington state has been using government-printed ballots since 1890. In the 116 years between 1890 and 2006, Washington state never had a Democratic-Republican ballot monopoly for all congressional and all state statewide offices. But in 2008, for the first time ever, only Democrats and Republicans are on the ballot for all the statewide state offices and all the congressional offices.
This unhappy turn of events is caused by the �top-two� election system, in use for the first time in Washington state this year. |

If this doesn't convince people that America is run, or at least beginning with Washington state, by a single party with two right wings, I don't know what will.
Both of those wings must be getting pretty antsy for them to resort to this. |
