Legislature moves up state's 2020 presidential primary to March

The Washington Legislature has moved up the state's 2020 presidential primary to early March, turning what's been a meaningless "beauty contest" into a voice for voters in who will be nominated for the fall election. .

The state House of Representatives, on a 54-42 Monday vote, sent the legislation to Gov. Jay Inslee for his signature. It earlier passed the Senate on a 29-18 vote.

Inslee has a dog in this hunt. If his bid for the Democratic nomination is alive and kicking on the first Tuesday in March, the Governor could harvest a bundle of home state delegates. The primary has been on the fourth Tuesday in May.

"The earlier date will make the presidential primary more meaningful in our state and will increase participation," said State Sen. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chief sponsor of the legislation.
