Oh, look. More of that election fraud Republicans have been screaming about... from Republicans. :doh:


SEATTLE (KOMO) — Washington Attorney General (AG) Bob Ferguson addressed recent developments in the state's governor's race Monday morning, days after two people named Robert Ferguson joined the ballot.
On Friday, two additional Democratic candidates filed to run for Washington governor under the name Bob Ferguson. Right wing activist Glen Morgan posted on Facebook around 5 p.m. Friday saying he was the "volunteer campaign manager for two of the Bob Fergusons running for governor. They are both superior in every way to the AG running for the same office, and I believe they can provide better choices for the Democrats in our state for that office."
By Monday evening, both Bob Fergusons told KOMO News they were dropping out of the race.
Ferguson, the Democratic frontrunner, said via X that Morgan's motive is to "confuse voters and diminish votes." Ferguson called the additions an "illegal scheme," violating RCW 29a.84.320: "Duplicate, nonexistent, untrue names."

Don't they have middle names to distinguish between the two or like the article Robert? Everyone called my dad Bob we all call my son Robert. Why drop out?
Because they were fake candidates. They weren't actually running to win. They were specifically put in place by Republican activists to spoil the Democratic vote. Since that's illegal and they were in danger of being charged with felony election interference, they decided to drop out.
