This list covers 34 presidential elections in which the citizens of the Evergreen State voted, mostly for the ultimate winner. It is formatted similar to recent election FLs and its data has been double-checked for accuracy. This is a co-nomination with 金色黎明, who nominated this list a month ago before it was quite done.

Fixed. @TheAstorPastor: Thanks for the review, I have fixed all but one of the suggested changes. Sounder Bruce 00:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey per MOS:JOBTITLE , When followed by a person's name to form a title, i.e., when they can be considered to have become part of the name: President Nixon, not president Nixon; Pope John XXIII, not pope John XXIII. - so it should be President Benjamin The AP (talk) 02:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@TheAstorPastor: Done, also dropped "incumbent" since it's redundant with the last part of the sentence. Sounder Bruce 05:06, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Full review coming, first note is it talks about the total republican vs democrat votes in the lead. I don't know if thats necessary as the paragraph talks about it and the paragraph before talks about Rooselvet being the only third party president. Additionally it's just a repeat of the infobox.

Moved up the count to make it flow a bit better.

"The state had a voter turnout of 71.5 percent in the 2020 election—the ninth-highest rate in the United States." This seems like recentism and not particularly relevant. If a turn out column was added to the table it would be alright but alone it seems quite trivial
- Removed, though I think a turnout column would be great to have (if it can be standardized across all the election tables).
Why is the bit about the 1892 election important? I know why because its the first but to someone less familiar it just seems like a random example.
- Added "the first since Washington became a state".
I feel that the 2016 faithless elector stuff is far too long to keep as a note and should be discussed in the lead. Replacing the note with something like "Clinton earned 12 pledged electoral votes, but lost four to faithless electors."
- Added it to the third paragraph.
Good job ping me when done Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 23:52, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Support I think if sourcing for the turnout column can be found then it should be added. I considered adding a turnout column to my election in Oklahoma list but didn't due to inconsistant sourcing Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:34, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
