Idaho governor opposes Proposition 1

| October 22, 2024 1:00 AM

Those confused about Prop 1 should perhaps listen to their governor whom Idahoans re-elected recently by wide margins.

His statement bears repeating:

"… Idaho has a strong track record in championing investments that safeguard election integrity, and encourage voter confidence."

“I am opposed to ranked choice voting and signed House Bill 179 in 2023 banning it in Idaho. We must promote voting practices that are clear, increase voter participation, and don’t undermine confidence in our elections, and ranked choice voting meets none of those standards. Idahoans will make their voices heard on Proposition 1 at the ballot box in November. As for me, I will not be supporting Proposition 1."
