>>/10305/ looks like 2020 Gov candidate Loren Culp wasn't too confident about elections throughout the state: https://mynorthwest.com/2360431/culp-campaign-lawsuit-secretary-of-state/ But he gave up fighting it (for now) when the state pushed back hard. Loren Culp drops lawsuit alleging election fraud in Washington state OLYMPIA, Wash. - Loren Culp, the Republican gubernatorial candidate who lost to Gov. Jay Inslee in the 2020 election, has withdrawn a lawsuit against the state alleging widespread election fraud. The move to drop the suit comes after the state Attorney General's Office threatened legal sanctions against Stephen Pidgeon, Culp's lawyer, for "legally baseless" claims "filed with the improper purpose of undermining confidence in a free and fair election." [SO THEY THREATENED HIM] Culp and his lawyer responded in a lengthy live video posted on Culp's Facebook page. He said the AG's office would likely drag this out for years, costing "millions of dollars." "I don't have that money. I don't feel that it would be right to ask you for that money just to be thrown out by a judge," Culp said. Official numbers show Inslee, now in his third term as governor, won the election with 56.7% of the total vote, while Culp received 43.3%. On a Facebook live video with supporters Friday, Culp said that continuing the lawsuit would have cost millions, only to risk it being thrown out and being forced to repay the state’s legal fees. https://www.q13fox.com/news/loren-culp-drops-lawsuit-alleging-election-fraud-in-washington-state
