GOP: Moderates wouldn’t try to stop voters
Dorothy Moon assured the Idaho GOP convention delegates that “we are not the fringe,” which was a crowd pleaser. That statement implies that they are either moderate, or completely off the map. As moderates, they appeal to and represent the majority of Idaho’s population. That is obviously why they are investing so much effort in expanding the right to vote to every eligible citizen, and in making it as easy as possible for those people to cast a ballot. What? Excuse me a moment, my wife is trying to get my attention. Yes, dear?
Well, this is puzzling. My wife tells me that these “not the fringe” people are against an open primary which would allow a true majority to approve candidates. And they insist on “excuse-only” absentee balloting to discourage working people, the poor, the elderly and the infirm from voting. Dorothy Moon knows that Idaho is a Republican state and will always be majority Republican. If they don’t want that, apparently, they really do fall on the other side of the fringe: off the map.
