Part III Data on WA Congressional, Legislative, County Districts: How many Berners are out there?

The charts and data below the break are dedicated to all you Berners that want to sign up to run  for Legislative Districts next week, the third week of May, when Filing Week opens. See PDFs and FAQs here: 1234 . You are probably wondering how many Berners are out there, will they vote for you, can you really take back that LD and become a progressive force in the Olympia?  I will let you answer all the tough questions while you lie awake at night.  Below the break are some data and charts to chew on.

The following data is from an Active Voter History (05/01/2016) only. Contemporaneous observations would have been much higher for all earlier years. However, it is doubtful WA state has ever seen an increase in voter registration for Millennials as it has in the first four months 2016.
