PROP 1: It isn’t about open primaries

| October 9, 2024 1:00 AM

I have been searching desperately for a source of news and opinion in North Idaho that actually represents the generally conservative opinion of the good citizens of North Idaho.

Unfortunately, despite finding your website, I’m still batting zero.

Just for your information, since the local propagandists keep referring to Prop 1 as the “Open Primary” amendment, it’s not really the issue at hand.

It’s really about “Ranked Choice Voting,” which is a system designed to benefit those who are willing to use duplicitous methods to achieve their goal.

For instance, dishonest characters can place fake Republicans on the ballot to draw votes away from the likely winner and then, using a recursive counting process, put their preferred candidate who lost, in first place.

Alaska fell for this scam and the result is a solid red state has turned purple.

You don’t seem to be publishing this truth. Instead, you repeat the “open primary” lie.

The fact Democrats have no primary candidates is not an Idaho problem, it’s a Democrat problem.

The fact Democrats can’t win races is not an Idaho problem, it’s a Democrat problem.

Let’s not make their problems an Idaho problem.

No on 1.
