Mega-millionaire Brian Heywood confirmed in a Twitter post today that petitions for Washington State Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh’s mass voter cancellation initiative are being circulated at “super signing events” that are being organized by Heywood’s Let’s Go Washington political committee, effectively making Walsh’s IL26-126 part of Heywood’s slate of 2026 measures.

Heywood posted a photo of people signing petitions and said: “Lots of support in Tumwater for protecting girls sports, keeping parents informed, and needing an ID to register to vote….”

This is a reference to three measures:

• Heywood’s IL26-001, which repeals the Safety Act signed into law this year protecting youth and expanding parental rights
• Heywood’s IL26-638, which requires young girls across Washington to submit to invasive genital exams just to participate in student athletics
• Walsh’s IL26-126, which would cancel the voter registrations of any Washington voter who doesn’t have an enhanced driver’s license and doesn’t go in person to “prove” their citizenship

The Let’s Go Washington website has long promoted the first two measures. The third, an obsession of Walsh’s, has not been circulated under the Let’s Go Washington banner.

But that appears to be changing. Heywood has embraced IL26-126.

Yesterday evening, Walsh said in a Twitter update of his own that the state party and Let’s Go Washington would be setting up a “pony express” to acquire petitions they’ve distributed for submission to the Secretary of State’s office:

@WAGOP in conjunction with @letsgowa are embarking on a pony express-like system to collect signatures from various drop-off locations across the state. “All three initiatives are on track to qualify by the Jan 2, 2026, deadline,” adds Chairman.

The tweet is accompanied by an odd-looking video recorded in Walsh’s office with Walsh in the corner of the frame instead of centered:

In December 2023, Walsh and Heywood submitted millions of signatures for six destructive right wing initiatives. All six qualified. Three were taken off the ballot by the Legislature and passed into law; one of those, I-2081, was subsequently superseded by the Safety Act this year. The other three went to the ballot and were resoundingly defeated by Washingtonians. A seventh measure that qualified as an initiative to the people in 2024 passed narrowly and is being challenged in court.
