Fairfax, Va. - The National Rifle Association today filed a lawsuit challenging the Washington Secretary of State’s decision to certify the significantly flawed and inaccurate petition sheets for Initiative 1639. The petition certification paves the way for it to be placed on the November ballot.
“Secretary of State Wyman has a legal and constitutional duty to reject all I-1639 signatures obtained using fraudulent copies of this initiative,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA-ILA. “It’s telling that the gun control lobby and their billionaire backers will break the rules and resort to dirty tricks in order to get their latest gun control scheme on the ballot.”
Among other things, I-1639;
“We call on the court to uphold state law and reject these fraudulent petitions,” concluded Cox.
The lawsuit was filed in Thurston County Superior Court.
Could very well be used as a model by other Soviet states like MD, MA, RI, CA, OR, CT, NJ, and NY...
There are millions of Deplorables consisting of retired LEOs, retired military, attorneys, etc. ready to expose RAT voter fraud. They need to be organized into an army that investigates, documents, and demands prosecution of “all” voter fraud.
It takes an Army to defend freedom wherever that freedom is threatened.
Support Free Republic, Folks!

Oh c’mon now, do you real believe a Liberal Democrat would fudge numbers on a petition? (tee hee hee)
The Washington State Supreme Court will mimic the US Supreme court and pick some fairy dust nonsense that they found in the penumbra of the State Constitution, probably having to do with public health or safety, and rule that that Wyman’s duty to the greater good outweighed the plain words of law.
It was the intent of the filers of the petition to gather valid signatures, after all, and it would violate the rights of the otherwise valid signatories not to have the issue come to a vote before all the people, cuz democracy.
Any bets as to how Coach K will vote when that polished turd of legal reasoning, or something similarly insipid, gets to the US Supreme Court? Bring it, especially if it uses public safety, health or welfare as a reason to infringe on the 2A. Statists here in WA are using that song and dance to force safe injection sites on the peons.
It would be glorious for the WA Supremes to commit gun control suicide that way. I hope they are that sure of themselves that they try it. They dictate the state budget and education policy already, providing cover for the state and local gubmints to raise taxes. Perhaps they’ll see fit to take over on gun issues also.
It’s not the issue, unfortunately for us Washingtonians.
They have the signatures, because that many liberal do gooder morons are willing to sign such nonsense in these parts. They may have used skullduggery to dredge up signatures from, say, the homeless we seem to attract with Seattle’s neverending funding of the “homeless crisis”, but that’s just another day in good old blue WA.
The issue is that the initiatives distributed strayed from the requirements of state law. Clearly, they didn’t meet the standard, but hey, what’s a little ol’ thing like the rule of law to a Evergreen State Politician who has to win deep, dark, stinkingly blue King County to stay on the state’s teat?
I posted above about what might happen if this gets sent to the Washington State Supreme Dictators of Budgets and Policies.
