Misinformation: Three cheers for Steve Hobbs

Re: “Election falsehood fight irks state GOP” [Dec. 11, A1]:

Three cheers for Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs’ efforts to counter pernicious intentional mendacity by Republicans.

It’s harmful for our democracy that one of many two main political events is devoted to wild conspiracy theories and “don’t rely the vote” mentality as a substitute of providing a considerate and helpful conservative critique of coverage choices. We’d like substantive constructive dialogue to make democratic selections, however the Republican Get together has deserted the method in favor of circus-barker rhetoric.
