Stephen W. Pidgeon, an attorney based in Everett, Washington, received a one-year suspension from practicing law by the Washington State Bar Association last week. This action was the result of Pidgeon’s involvement in contesting the results of Washington’s 2020 gubernatorial election. On behalf of the Loren Culp campaign, Pidgeon lodged a series of court filings – categorized as “frivolous” – in King County Superior Court in December 2020. These movements were to dispute Gov. Jay Inslee’s victory over Loren Culp, won by a significant margin of 545,177 votes.
