HB 1448: Amends various statutes to authorize and regulate the use of RANKED CHOICE VOTING in local elections for counties, cities, towns, school districts, fire districts, and port districts, establishing consistent rules, ballot design requirements, and voter education guidelines to enhance representation and participation, effective with specific implementation timelines and a pilot program for supporting voters with developmental disabilities in Seattle.
Substitute House Bill (SHB) 1710 would designate certain political subdivisions as "covered jurisdictions" based on past voting discrimination or disparities in voter registration, participation, arrest rates, or poverty among protected classes, requiring them to seek pre-approval from the Attorney General or courts before making any changes to election methods, district boundaries, or voting access—a move that threatens local autonomy, burdens communities with unnecessary bureaucracy, and prioritizes group rights over individual freedoms. This overreach undermines our principles of limited government, federalism, and equal treatment under the law, potentially paving the way for state overreach and political abuse.
HB 1750 seeks to amend the Washington Voting Rights Act by creating guidelines to address voter suppression and vote dilution, aiming to ensure that race, color, or language minority groups have an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice without requiring proof of discriminatory intent, potentially allowing courts to impose remedies like district-based elections and increasing elected officials.
HB 1125 would grant sentencing courts the authority to modify lengthy felony sentences if deemed no longer just, potentially allowing early release for those who have served significant portions of their terms, are terminally ill, or show rehabilitation, starting from July 1, 2026, with expanding eligibility over the years.
