The 69.17.114.183 edits were mine; I was apparently not logged in. - Jmabel | Talk 20:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
I've done my best to clean up the election tables, which were a total mess. There still appears to be a problem with the State Legislative election numbers: there are two legislative representatives for each district, and the list here seems to include votes for both seats for the 43rd.
Also, all of these election numbers are uncited. I suspect that if someone can find a source, they can also disentangle the abovementioned problem. - Jmabel | Talk 22:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
My name is John Mifflin, and I currently live in Helena MT. I used to live in Spokane WA. I have copies of the vote by county for all partisan Washington elections back to 1889 except legislature. The state started making charts of this in 1918, we're trying to make them before hand. All of the King County info came from their canvass sheets. From 1900 to 1998, King County kept seperate subtotals for Seattle. From 1962 to 1988, they kept seperate absentee totals for the city of Seattle by leg. district. From 1946 to 1960, they broke it down by precinct. That's where the info came from, the source.
All of my charts are in excel which does not seem to import into these charts. I have lots and lots of other stuff I could contribute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.146.99.143 ( talk) 09:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
We at the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs noticed that this article mentions us, and we wanted to find out about how to get link about the Evans School on here that is in compliance with the policies of the wikipedia community.
We have drafted what we think is a very straight-forward and neutral article about the Evans School, but are hesitant in adding it so that we don't violate any of the policies for this community. EvansSchool 22:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I'm not sure what to do here. I sent in the election information. It all comes from King County and Washington State records. King County made seperate totals including absentee from 1946 to 1998, so accurate Seattle info available. When Dan Evans ran for the legislature, before one man one vote, the 43rd legislative district elected two representatives with no regard for individual seats. Starting in 1966, they were listed as Rep 43rd District Position 1, and Position 2.

why is the connection with ted bundy consistently removed? the only case against its removal is it being labeled "irrelevent" which is ridiculous. Thismightbezach ( talk) 12:49, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
It is true Bundy volunteered on one of his campaigns. Dan Evans never met him (if he did he doesn't remember). Bundy had little impact on the campaign. To create a close link or anything beyond he was one of thousands of volunteers is false and nothing more than sensationalism.

After the death of Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, some of the younger generation of the state were asked what should be done to replace the Good Senator Jackson. It was stated that often times the wife of the legislator often replaced the individual to finish the term of office. I suggested a nomination of the Good Governor Evans as a replacement if Jackson's wife would not be chosen, because Governor Evans was such a popular governor. I did not realize that he no longer desired to be such a high public figure. Gnostics ( talk) 02:22, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
The governor of Washington at the time, John Spellman, was responsible for selecting Scoop's replacement. Spellman was a Republican and Scoop was a Democrat and the desire was to nominate a R who could win a staewide election to take the seat. Scoop's wife Helen was never considered. 96.81.143.222 ( talk) 20:21, 3 May 2019 (UTC) Dan Evans, Jr.
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time per the discussion below. ( page mover nac) Flooded with them hundreds 06:46, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Daniel J. Evans → Dan Evans (politician) – "Dan" is the more WP:COMMONNAME for the former governor and US Senator from Washington state.
A search of the Vanderbilt Television News Archive shows 57 results for "Dan Evans" compared to 18 for "Daniel Evans" among national TV newscasts in the US. For instance, the various incarnations of ABC World News Tonight used "Dan Evans" during his gubernatorial career during coverage of the 1968 Republican National Convention [1] [2] [3] and during a 1973 report about the Office of Economic Opportunity. When Evans ran for the late Henry "Scoop" Jackson's Senate seat, ABC continued to use "Dan" like in these reports in 1983 and continuing during Evans' one term as Senator in 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988.
In the 1980s, the Associated Press used "Dan Evans" [4] [5] [6] [7]. A United Press International story in 1983 was headlined: " Dan Evans wins Washington state Senate race", and UPI stories in 1986 [8] and 1987 [9] used "Dan Evans, R-Wash."
However, the politician isn't the primary topic, due to a prominent British tennis player of the same name. Arbor to SJ ( talk) 19:39, 6 October 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. bd2412 T 02:47, 20 October 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Flooded with them hundreds 09:55, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
