Be gentle, this is my first thread.
I received my WA State Primary Voters Pamphlet today. As expected biden was listed first as he is the sitting President.
The photo they used for him is sharp in contrast and shows him as energetic with a beaming smile.
Next the other Demorats are listed and then the Republicans starting with Christy. They didn't even give the former President the respect of being listed first. They stuck him on the last page, but the worst part is they used a faded photo of him scowling that looks pretty close to being his mug shot.
The photos of all the other candidates were sporting great big smiles.

I can't imagine anyone being surprised about this and it certainly is not earth shattering or worth getting upset about, but you would think they could be a little cleverer in their tactics.

I'm not tech savvy so maybe someone could add a link to the WA State 2024 Presidental Primary Voters Pamphlet or you could just search for it yourselves and have a look.

I'm sorry to drift your thread, but am compelled to confirm that if you're a cabinfvr in WA, that means you're not the Cabinfvr in MN, who's married to "wind in her hair"?

..I always assumed you were, and I spose that only goes to confirm what they say about assumptions eh? :: shrug ::

I will add that the other candidates with exception to one, have already dropped out of the race. Looks Like WA state preprinted the voter's pamphlet and didn't make any adjustments. Ramaswamy is out and has been for months now, Christie is out, its literally Haley, Grampy Badfinger, and Trump who are still in the running with Haley nothing more than a fading light in the rear view mirror.

As this is a WA state pamphlet, not surprising its from the Secretary of State's office, the very same office that hasn't purged voter records in over 20 years and has made statements that they don't need to be purged.

Those ballots are preprinted months before and those on it met the requirements to run per the state at that time. There have been cases where dead candidates showed up on ballots because they passed prior to the election. It is done way in advance.

I don’t think having Trump on the back page is anything more than a result of the alphabet.

Looks like they are done alphabetically. Dont think Trump smiles in any of his pictures. That one looks about normal.

Unfortunately, Trump never dose smile butt there are better pictures of him.
I understand the alphabetical thing, but it would seem that decorum should prevail for anyone who has held the highest office in the land should be first in the pecking order. For me It's more of an offence to the office of the president as it is to Trump.

mecoastie, thanks for posting the link.

I got mine in the mail today too (King county) and noted the same.

But being in the Socialist State of Washington, I wasn’t surprised at all. V
