OPINION: Let’s put spotlight on Idaho for right reasons
Idaho once again made national headlines for the wrong reasons. Collegiate athletes from the University of Utah Women’s Basketball Team experienced hate and racial slurs from individuals in North Idaho — in our community.

The only way for us to start making that change is to ensure extremists know they aren’t more powerful than the often-silent majority. And that means we need to vote.

We see this with unnecessary voter registration requirements months in advance, an exclusionary caucus and with the Republican Party restricting voter access.
