Reply to comment by barefootozark in Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez defeats Republican Joe Kent in WA House race by agitant5934

In WA-8 district, the other competitive district, the D:R ratio from the primary to general doesn't change much. This indicates that people that vote R in the primary continue and vote R in the general. In this case Larkin's primary votes with many R's running increased from 34,684 to 139,766 in the general where he is the only R running.

In the WA-8 Primary there were 101,201 D votes and 100,293 R votes. Each increases ~50% (60% D/ 40% R) in the general: D 159,131, R 139,766.

The WA-3 and WA-8 had similar total turnouts in the Primary and General... from 200K to 300K:

  • WA-3 Primary 220K
  • WA-8 Primary 204K
  • WA-3 General 304K
  • WA-8 General 299K

Truly unreal results.
