Republican gubernatorial candidate Loren Culp speaks to the crowd during a pro-Trump rally in Bellevue, Wash. on Oct. 10, 2020.
Washington State Republican gubernatorial candidate Loren Culp files a lawsuit against Secretary of State Kim Wyman over the presidential election, asking the court to issue an injunction (Injunctive Relief) and for an audit of paper ballots cast on Nov. 3.
The lawsuit also seeks an audit of voting results and vote counting machines in King County, ClarkCounty, ThurstonCounty, PierceCounty, KitsapCounty and SkagitCounty, according to local Seattle media outlet MyNorthWest.
His campaign posted a statement on Facebook Thursday saying, “We are not conceding defeat. We are fighting until we run out of options. Then, we will fight again.”
Kulp’s campaign adviser Christopher Gergan and his attorney Stephen Pidgeon said in a YouTube video that the lawsuit had been filed.
Pidgeon said, “We’re seeing a lot of problems here in this special election. Our examination of this election is starting to bring some things to the surface. Those things are, frankly, just unacceptable.” He added, “If you’re overconfident, you tend to be sloppy, and that’s exactly what’s happened.”
Pidgeon also said the Washington State Constitution requires the secretary of state to ensure that elections are conducted fairly.
“We know that this state did not run failed ID activation softwares against its own database prior to the election, so people were getting a lot of duplicate ballots (duplex ballots) at the time.” He said, “They had 336,000 names on their mailing list. These are people who have moved, many of whom are not receiving ballots, but 171,000 of whom have moved out of the state.”
“The worst bit actually, of course, is the dead people voting. For that, we saw clear evidence,” Pidgeon said, “that they sent ballots to more than 10,000 dead people, and 7,800 of them voted.”
Secretary of State Wyman told KTTH radio that the Culp campaign has provided no concrete evidence.
In a letter last week, Wyman asked Kulp to produce evidence to support his allegations.
“If Mr. Culp, his attorney or anyone else believes they have evidence of fraud, then I urge them to report their findings to their county election officials and the Secretary of State’s office.” Wyman’s office said in a statement.
“As a law enforcement officer who claims to have evidence of felony crimes, it is incumbent upon Mr. Culp to provide evidence to the appropriate authorities so that county sheriffs, prosecutors, and possibly the FBI can investigate these cases.”
