Yakima Republicans calling for investigation into election raffle prize giveaway [View all]
(The Center Square) – The Yakima County Republican Party is calling for a statewide investigation into an activist organization that hosted a ballot-related raffle during the 2025 general election in Sunnyside.
According to social media posts sent to The Center Square by the Yakima County Republican Party, an organization called We Are Ella held an event related to ballot printing, ballot submission, and voter registration, featuring a raffle for a television and other high-value prizes.
The goal was to encourage voters to show up and turn in their ballots, or register to vote on site, for the Nov. 4 general election.
Yakima County Republican Party Chair Matt Brown spoke with The Center Square on Wednesday about their concerns.
