That’s Idaho up there, red as red can be.
Last week, Idaho’s Democratic Party endorsed a very positive move.
“so that everybody can vote,”
Betsy Z. Russell reports in the Idaho Press:
Idaho Democrats will switch to a presidential primary, rather than a caucus, for the next presidential election in 2020. The party announced the change during its state party convention Saturday at the College of Idaho in Caldwell. “We’re looking to move to a system that we have a primary, so that everybody can vote,” said Van Beechler, the party’s first vice chair. Party Chairman Bert Marley said, “It’s been obvious the last couple presidential elections that the caucus system for us, in most parts of the state, is pretty unwieldy.”
Wonderful to see yet another state tossing these horrid relics of voter suppression onto the ash heap of history.
