2020 Washington Democratic primary →
2020 Washington presidential primary – In this name change, I'm expressing two disagreements with the original name of the article. First, the March 10, 2020 presidential primary is for both major parties, although the Republicans have only one candidate running. Second, the article name needs to be specific that this is a presidential primary. There is another primary in Washington in August 2020 for down ballot races.

In normally cases, there would have been a separate 2020 article on the Republican race similar to the
2016 one, but since we have an incumbent president running for reelection unopposed in the primary like Obama in 2012, there would be a redirect like
Washington Democratic caucuses, 2012 if there is no content to warrant a separate article.
If there were a
2020 Washington primary page created without any political party specified, it would eventually be a redirect to
2020 Washington elections. Because Washington uses the
nonpartisan blanket primary system in its state and local races where all candidates run in the primary regardless of party, and the top two winners move on to the general election, the primary and general election tables are combined like on
2016 Washington elections#Statewide.
Oppose any move. The current title is consistent with all others in
Category:2020 United States Democratic presidential primaries by state, and also equivalent pages going back through the years. We don't combine Republican and Democrat primaries on to one page. Also, I don't see a need to add "presidential" to the title. This is already
WP:PRECISE enough and also more
WP:CONCISE, because the "down ballot" primaries per state aren't don't have articles, and again, almost no other page in the extensive category tree has this qualifier. (Minnesota was boldly moved a couple of weeks ago without a discussion, so I've reverted that). —

Polling numbers
There's been vandalism - look at Gabbard polling numbers on the page. — Preceding

It wasn't vandalism, but an error while removing a withdrawn candidate from the table. It has since been resolved. --

win
Much of the discussion seems to be on who wins the primary. But it isn't winner take all, so if it is close to a tie, then delegates will be assigned close to equally. Should the article mention this?

vote by mail
While Washington is a vote by mail state, at least in King county, maybe other counties, there are drop boxes. Also, for people who need it, there are
in person voting sites, where I suspect that you fill out the same ballot, and drop it in a drop box. The drop boxes avoid postal delay, though they might not get counted until the next day.

Delegate Count
I saw 2 issues and only fixed one.
The latest delegate counts were from an unofficial website with a disclaimer stating the numbers were combination of actual and estimates. I reverted the numbers to the last known delegate count, which was the same accross numper of reputed sites (NPR, AP).
There are multiple references to pledged delegates being 107. That is not correct. The total number of delegates is 107, but the number of pledged delegates is 89.
Done I fixed the numbers and added a source to the lede.

Washington called for Biden?
The current text of the lede claims that a majority of news outlets have not yet called the Washington primary, but provides no reference to a reliable source claiming that, or indeed any outlets that haven't called it.
Meanwhile, the AP, which is generally fairly conservative about calling races, has now joined other outlets in calling
Washington for Biden.
Does anyone have any sources at all that haven't called the race to substantiate the claim that a majority of outlets haven't called it?

Someone needs to add the result map to the infobox. I'm not experienced enough to do it.
