Washington is mail-in ballot only, has been for about 10 years. I have my ballot right here.There is certainly some misinformation in this top thread - https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/283278832
Washington has no electronic voting, it's all paper ballots.
This is what I see when I enter my information in the VoteWA.gov site indicated in my WA Voters' Pamphlet and click "Online Ballot":
To print a ballot packet, only click "Continue" if you did not receive your ballot by mail or your ballot is lost or damaged. Continue only if you intend to vote this ballot.
Print both 1) Replacement Ballot and 2) Ballot Return Packet.
To view what's on your ballot, select the voters' guide in the navigation menu.
Frequently asked questions
This site allows you to mark, review, and print your ballot materials for return to your county elections office.
Can I just view my online ballot and then vote the paper ballot coming to me in the mail?
No, the online ballot should only be used if you want to print, vote and return it. Click on Voters' Guide in the left navigation to see what will be on your ballot and to learn more about the candidates and measures.
I lost my paper ballot, can I print and return this online ballot?
Yes, the online ballot is a great replacement ballot option. When printing make sure to print both the 1) replacement ballot and 2) the ballot packet. Follow the ballot packet instructions and make sure you return your ballot on time – the earlier the better!
Caution: If you continue, a ballot previously mailed to you will be cancelled.
So the system will let you print a replacement ballot, but it will also invalidate the one that was mailed to you.
Combine that with the "Signature Update Form" (which in my county requires the same name and DOB information and can be mailed in without providing any identification) used to update the signature used to "authenticate" signatures on the ballot envelope, and you have the ingredients to cause absolute fucking chaos in the election even if there's no explicit fraud.
Not as far as I know. Government mails out the ballots to registered voters; there's a whole bunch of parts to it that you have to sign, re-envelope the inner envelope, and mail/dropbox the whole shebang.

Yeah, I believe this is just one of the sites that lets you print your ballot? I could be mistaken though.
