PRIMARY: Here’s what was passed
Regarding Mary Ollie’s comments, after the Legislature’s failure to reconvene, the Secretary of State and the Governor enacted the change to the presidential primary in Idaho. Bill addressing technical correction died when the legislative session adjourned. House Assistant Minority Leader Lauren Necochea, D-Boise, said the problem is that the Idaho Legislature failed to pass Senate Bill 1186, which she described as a technical correction to the presidential primary law. The Idaho Senate voted 24-10 to pass Senate Bill 1186, but the bill never advanced to the House floor for a vote and died when the session adjourned. “The way to ensure Idaho voters — of every party — have their say in our presidential nomination process is to hold a special legislative session and reinstate the presidential primary election,” Necochea added.
