Eyman loses big in 2005 election
While Initiative 900 passed, Initiative 912 failed in a stunning defeat for Eyman, who had latched on to the effort which was spearheaded by KVI talkshow hosts John Carlson and Kirby Wilbur. Initiative 900 was passing with about 56% of the vote as of late Monday, November 14th, 2005.
Counties defeating Initiative 900 include Skamania, Klickitat, Grant, Adams, Lincoln, Whitman, San Juan, Garfield, Columbia, Asotin, Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille, and Wahkiakum (13 total).
All of those counties, curiously, are in rural Washington. Many of those counties traditionally have given Eyman has strongest support.
Thirteen counties are also defeating Initiative 912, but most of those counties include major urban areas, though some are rural.
