WA Gov Candidate Semi Bird - Party Affiliation needed for Ballot casting/ Iowa Caucus "Paperbagate"

The Washington State Gubernatorial candidate Semi Bird closed off the rally for the initiative ballot hearings in Olympia and made time for an interview about the story broken of Washington Mail-in ballots requiring party affiliation to be signed in order to be counted in voting and sorting.

Along with the first question, a follow-up to the Iowa Caucus coverage was brought up to discuss the difference in mail-in-ballot caucus integrity concerns with that of recent caucusing in Iowa wherein the story of "paperbagate" was a story angle pushed in leu of recent Iowa state ID requirements and even contended the nature of on-site collections there.

Many came out of their way to see the results of collections of 2 million plus signatures for the 6 ballots including the three immediate initiatives I-2113, I-2081, and I-211 that are open for house votes to pass without need of use with ballot voting in November. The hearings will from Feb. 27th-28th, both being jointly held by House and Senate committees in Olympia.

Attending Senate and Congressional members of the Republican WA state coalition were largely present with some still in delegating/hearings at noon with the event first kicked off.
