Gov. Jay Inslee won his third term as governor, with his opponent Loren Culp saying he will contest the recent state election results.

Inslee won with 59 percent of the vote statewide, and 51.9 percent of the vote in Whitman County.

Culp said in a Facebook video posted Wednesday on the “Culp For Governor” page that he lost his job as Republic Police Chief and wants to have every vote counted before conceding.

“Something smells fishy,” he said in the video.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Inslee said Culp was attempting to sow distrust in the validity of votes without proof.

“The voters are going to decide who the next governor is, not Mr. Culp,” Inslee said.

With 87 percent of votes counted, Washington state voters seemingly voted to approve Washington Referendum 90, which would require public schools to provide comprehensive sexual health education for students in grades 6-12 beginning in the 2021 fall term. This would include telling students about affirmative consent and bystander training.

Voters voted to repeal Senate Joint Resolution 8212, which would allow the legislature to give government funds to long-term care services such as public pension, industrial insurance trust funds, and benefits for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Voters also repealed Senate Bill 6690, which was meant to increase business and occupation tax on commercial airplane companies. The expected cost of the bill was around $1 billion. This vote is nonbinding and will not change the law, but will reflect the public’s opinion on the laws.

They also voted to repeal Senate Bill 6492, which also increased tax rates and reduced surcharges in specific areas. As with 6690, this vote is nonbinding.

Senate Bill 5323 will also be repealed, a bill that would tax certain carryout bags provided by retail stores. Senate Bill 5628, which would tax heavy equipment rentals, was also repealed. These votes are both nonbinding.
