Idahoans should be alarmed by the scarcity of trial court candidates
Very few well-qualified lawyers have applied for Idaho district court positions in recent years. District courts h…
Maybe Harris should join 'The View'
I wonder where Kamala Harris is going to end up after the election.
Don't forget to vote
The earlier you vote
We need ranked choice voting
Do we want to send our District 1 U.S. Representative to Washington — with only 18% of the vote? Under the present system, that is possible in this Nov. 5 Russ Fulcher (incumbent) race — four candidates on ballot a…
Trump, Rasor are good Christian candidates
It is a mystery to me why anyone would believe the liberal left. They are such horrendous liars. For example, they say “Bring back our doctors” when they actually mean “Bring back abortion.” And do you know of any …
Steve Johnson isn't transparent after all
"It's just common sense!" seems to be Steve Johnson's mantra. Why does he continue to jump into races at the last minute as a write-in "independent?"
Proposition 1 is the wrong choice for Idaho
Recently, a letter to the editor in favor of Proposition 1 explained that Rank Choice Voting (RCV) in a conservative rural district in Maine in 2018, enabled a Democrat to be elected after two rounds of voting. Thi…
Rasor is not the right choice for Idaho
Point 1: The Daily Bee asked Cornel Rasor to name “the most significant issue” for North Idaho voters. He said it was preventing abortions. He means with “no exceptions.” So if a woman is raped, she must give birth…

Supporting Mark Sauter for state representative
With three excellent letters supporting Mark Sauter, it is a bit difficult to find much more to say about his attributes. Jeff Hood obviously knows much more than I about Mark's support for farmers.
Matthee puts in the effort
I have been excited to vote for Karen Matthee for House Seat 1A since I heard her effective responses at the candidates forum. Karen says she supports Proposition 1 (the Open Primaries Initiative) because she belie…
Prop 1 will dilute one person, one vote
Proposition 1 is being marketed as the ticket to “Open Primaries” by its supporters, but it's really not. It is a ranked choice voting scheme in which you get three ranked choice votes, for a single position.
Is Cornel Rasor presenting alternative facts?
Yikes. At the anti-Prop 1 gathering sponsored and led by legislative candidate Cornel Rasor on Tuesday, Oct. 22, an audience member asked him how many electoral votes Idaho has. His answer? "32," he said with conf…
Steve Johnson is here for everyone
You ever have that warm, feel-good moment of going hunting with your grandpa for the first time? Or the quiet pride of learning to fish on Lake Pend Oreille? Maybe it's the time when you needed help cutting wood fo…
Matthee supports a hand-up for Idahoans
Idaho's GOP lawmakers have developed a disturbing pattern of laying down obstacles to keep working families with young children from succeeding. And yet they want young women to decide to keep their babies, even wh…
Prop 1 is not about open primaries
I see ads for Prop 1 in the paper and mail, claiming that this proposition is about open primaries. People like the idea of open primaries, and think this is a good idea.
