Some voted for religious reasons others voted because they were concerned about change. Some voted because they are sycophants. A smaller minority of voters in Spokane County were concerned it was just bad legislation. (If King County is subtracted out of the R-71 vote, R-71 is soundly rejected statewide.) Whatever the reason, we will be feeling the aftershocks of R-71 for years to come. Congratulations and kudos to all whom to part in this privileged mostly peaceful example of democracy. A pox upon those who used threats and intimidation on other voters in order to forward their own political agenda. May you die a long drawn out painful. hideous, death as did other Nazis a generation ago. R-71 was rejected in Spokane County by a 60% of the voters.

Little by little, people are starting to realize that they are part of something bigger, or that they can be part of something bigger. Little by little, people are starting to stake a claim in their future. And it’s all about emotion. You have to feel a sense of pride, a sense of belonging, you have to feel something towards the place you’re in – otherwise you don’t give a shit. And I think people are starting to find things they like about Spokane, enough so that the emotional hook is set. And Trick or Vote was a great first tug of the line to reel that emotion in and to move people beyond talk and into action. Now this is all my outside perception as I wasn’t there, but that’s what I feel about this whole last two or three months in general.
