OPINION: Power grab for your vote
Mary Souza
Dear Idaho Republican Voters, Bjorn Handeen wants to cut you out of choosing the Republican candidates who will be in the General Election. He thinks the Republican Precinct Committeemen on the central committees should choose the candidates in the Republican primary, not you the voters. Who is Bjorn Handeen? He represents North Idaho on the Republican State Central Committee. He is also a precinct committeeman on the Kootenai County Central Committee.
So when it comes to attitudes and plans for voters in Idaho, we should pay attention to Bjorn’s words. He has written and told people for some time that “The nomination of the Republican Party? That is for the Republican Party to decide. Who is the Republican Party?…it is the precinct committeemen. It is their call to make. Too bad we are forced by statute to have a primary.”
