Too many Idahoans are shut out of the primary process because they’re not affiliated with a party. Open primaries give all voters a voice, and that’s what democracy is about. #YesOn1 #OpenPrimaries #YourVoteMatters

Before open primaries and [RCV] . . . Legislators worked in fear, under the threat of being ousted in . . . primaries if they didn’t toe the party line. [P]arty leaders controlled . . . endorsements and purse strings. Former Comm. of the Al. Dep. of Rev. x.com/No_On2AK/statu…

The Colorado Democratic Party opposes open primaries and RCV because it likes closed primaries tilting Colorado to the left. Prop. 1 does not benefit the left or right -- it empowers Idaho voters. #idpol koaa.com/news/covering-…

I do not Know Eric Peterson, but as a fellow Republican Precinct Committeeman, I agree completely. "[Prop. 1] strengthens the party by making the party more competitive and more reflective of Idaho’s broad values." #idpol lmtribune.com/opinion/propos…

The power should be in the hands of the people of Idaho, not political elites. Prop 1 will make sure your voice is heard. #YesOn1 #OpenPrimaries #YourVoteMatters

Our recommendation on Idaho’s Prop 1: Open primaries, ranked choice voting | Opinion idahostatesman.com/opinion/editor…

Idaho Statesman I think the single biggest reason we need Prop 1 is that our legislators should always feel at risk of losing the next election if they don't do the will of the Idaho people. Politicians saying they will overrule this are exactly why we need this.

Idahoans deserve politicians who are accountable to them. #YesOn1 #YourVoteMatters #OpenPrimaries

Former Idaho AG and Supreme Ct. Justice: "Extremists... are feverishly working to defeat Prop 1. They claim it will infringe voting rights, when in fact it will enhance them." #idpol #idleg #YesOn1 #YesForOpenPrimaries idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/opi…

If Brent was seriously concerned about voter confidence he would support a election method that would REQUIRE a winning candidate to receive at least 50% ACCEPTANCE BY THE VOTERS FreeDumber I have been successful at sliding an incompetent candidate in with less than 50% approval

That members of congress continue to trade individual stocks is a giant middle finger to all the voters of America. This issue should be a layup. Nothing is more obvious than the conflict created when members (or spouses) trade individual stocks. #idpol x.com/i/status/19509…

Pretending that "prediction markets" are not gambling is silly. States should do everything they can to protect our youth, especially young men, from predatory gambling companies. #idpol #idleg x.com/GovCox/status/…

The drama and disagreement around the tariff decision makes me think the US should consider actually having a third branch of government to balance out these clashes between executive and the judiciary.
