Earlier today Bellingham Herald's Politics Reporter, Sam Taylor, posted an email from "professional initiative promoter and conservative Tim Eyman" with the subject line "RE: King County Democrats newest member: Tim Eyman"
Mixed in with Eyman's usual tedious self-promotion was something quite curious. Eyman wrote: "The King County GOP convention was super fun (I live in Snohomish county and have already been elected a delegate to the state GOP convention in Spokane this May).".
And later in the email, referring to his visit to the King County Democrats convention, he says: "My first and most significant experience was signing in. I walked up and before I could say anything the very nice woman behind the registration desk said “hello, Mr. Eyman.” I said, “Hi, I’m told from Susan Sheary (the Democrats’ chairwoman) that the admission fee is $25.” The woman smiled and replied “Well, for $40 you can become a member of the King County Democratic Party, get the newsletter, and get into the convention for free.” I laughed and said no at first, paid the $25, got my name tag, and went over to my table for a while. But after a half hour of talking with fellow activists and gathering signatures for I-985, I went back and changed my check amount to $40 and officially became a member of the King County Democratic Party."
[bold emphasis added]
Now I'm no expert on the rules of the Washington State Republican Party(WSRP)... but it strikes me that being a dues paying member of the Democratic Party might interfere with Eyman being seated as a delegate to the WSRP State Convention.
I've emailed WSRP Chairman Luke Esser to ask about this puzzler, but I haven't gotten a response yet.
