The Washington State Democratic Central Committee filed a motion to intervene on a lawsuit filed last week by the Washington Election Integrity Coalition United and Jerry Schulz of Reardan against the Lincoln County Auditor’s Office alleging election misconduct by the office and former auditor Shelly Johnston during the 2020 election.

“Nearly a year after the 2020 election…the plaintiffs have filed a complaint filled with entirely fabricated claims of election fraud,” the motion reads. “The plantiff’s effort to delegitimize the integrity of our state elections appears to be little more than a cut and paste of similar cases filed throughout the country after the 2020 presidential election.”

The motion cites “copycat lawsuits” filed not just in Lincoln County, but in Clark, Snohomish, Whatcom, Thurston, Franklin, King and Pierce counties.

“Federal and state court judges roundly rejected every one of those election contests, and with them, their unsubstantiated claims of voter and election fraud,” the motion says.
