Proposition One is a double-edged sword to destroy Idaho.

First there’s the “open primaries” edge. It allows any person to run in a “Jungle primary” with no restrictions or adherence to a Party Platform, party rules, party bylaws, etc. These are all used by the grassroots members of a party to hold their legislators accountable.

Second, the “Ranked Choice Voting” edge. This requires that you vote for all four candidates in a ranking system. Its not one person one vote anymore. It requires costly computer systems to tabulate three rounds of voting if one candidate doesn’t receive over fifty percent. Does it make any sense to turn over our voting system to Companies that aren’t accountable to the voter and let them determine the winner using logarithms?

This effort stinks from the influence of big money donors from outside of Idaho. As a Republican Precinct Committeeman in Nez Perce county, I know what is happening here.

They HAVE open Borders, They WANT open bathrooms, They NEED open Primaries!

Join me and vote NO on Proposition 1 to keep elections as they are now.

Vote Yes on HJR 5 to allow only US citizens the right to vote in Idaho.

Vote Republican to Save Our State.
