Supreme Court blocks King County local option election on November 14
En banc ruling declares no special election in unincorporated King County for the 1912 ballot. The court denies Eckdahl’s writ to force the auditor to call the election, noting voters had chances before 1910 and in that year, with 1912 as the next window. The decision preserves existing timelines for statewide voting.
