Woodward is the right choice for Idaho Senate

Regarding SB 1244, extending the distance for electioneering near polls from 100 feet to 250 feet, a bill written by Mark Sauter, opposed by Scott Herndon — surprising as he often simply doesn’t follow laws that he disagrees with. He didn’t abide by the 100-foot rule, so what difference would extending it to 250 feet make? 

At the last election where he was on the ballot, he and his crew entered the polls — all wearing shirts advocating to vote for him! A clear violation of the electioneering laws! It was immediately reported to Mike Rosedale, who replied he’d “take care of it”… (Interestingly no mention was made of this blatant violation in any of Rosedale’s follow-up reporting).

I hope law enforcement is on-site at the polls to turn him and his buddies away if they show up as previously dressed, planning to advocate for him within the polling area. Dealing with such a situation shouldn’t be left to volunteers working the polls.

Please cast your vote for the candidate who respects and follows the law, for someone who listens to all constituents and votes with integrity and honesty for all.

Vote Jim Woodward for Idaho State Senate.
