There was lots of testimony this morning on the big election consolidation bill, HB 201, but the Senate State Affairs Committee ran out of time and had to continue the hearing to tomorrow, so there was no vote today. The measure earlier passed the House; it’d make sweeping reforms in Idaho’s election system, to move all elections to four dates and have counties run them all, with standardized polling places/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.

Question: Do you support this election consolidation bill?

Yes, I support it! Hopefully a consolidation will encourage a greater turnout in the electoral process as they’ve been dismal of late.
