PROP 1: The hidden truth

| October 11, 2024 1:00 AM

If you want 4-5 Democratic Party families in charge of Idaho, vote for Prop 1. Prop 1 allows elites with money to control who will run for office. They (the elites) say that our system now is not fair to Independents. Well just who are Independents? We have 3 great examples in our Senate. They are Senators Manchin of West Virginia, Senator Sinema of Arizona, and Senator Sanders of Vermont. Manchin and Sinema both were moderate Democrats Senators until recently, but still vote with the Democrats most of the time. Senator Sanders is a ultra-socialist, that votes with the Democrats all of the time.

Is this what you want, Independents that lean Democrat to control our vote? Prop 1 will give us about 24 candidates in every election, which will result with no one knowing whether they are liberal or conservative. These Democratic elites have the money to support more candidates and more ads for their liberal candidates. Examples are the pro Ranked-choice voting ads you are seeing every time you log on your computer. Candidates will need to kiss the ring of the Democratic Party to be able to run; like California with the families of Pelosi, Newson and Schiff. Do you want that? My husband and I are refugees of California. I will aggressively fight to prevent Idaho from turning into California, New York and Alaska. People of Idaho, you are being played. 

TERRY TRAUB
