Whitman County Dems vote to defy party rules
By Bryan BissellFirst it was the 36th and 10th Legislative Districts. Now, a county in Eastern Washington has added themselves to the list of Democratic jurisdictions refusing to follow state party rules of nominating candidates. Hillary Hamm at the Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports that Whitman County Democrats have decided not to nominate candidates by way of a Precinct Committee Officer vote.
"It’s not a democratic process," said Whitman County state committeeman Nathan Horter, who sponsored the resolution to buck the rules. “We don’t think someone who sits in an office on the west side should make decisions for people in Whitman County."
