Appointed Justice Steve Gonzalez's campaign manager this morning accused the counties that produced local voter pamphlets for the primary of misleading voters in a way that could endanger his election.
Gonzalez is in a two-person race for the seat he was appointed to by Gov. Chris Gregoire in January. Under rules for judge races, any candidate who receives a majority of the votes in the primary appears on the general election ballot alone. While that is a possible outcome in supreme court races with more than two candidates, it is certain in races with only two.
