Candidate Disowns ‘Path to Hell’ Fliers

Gresham Bouma (pictured from Facebook photo), Republican candidate for Idaho Senate in District 6, has denied that an inflammatory postcard sent to an unknown number of mailboxes over the weekend throughout Latah County came from his campaign. Denials also came Saturday and Sunday from the pastor of Freeze Community Church, which the Bouma family attends, from the Republican and Democratic parties in Latah County, from his opponent in the race and from another candidate mentioned in the postcard. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson said he will be talking today with the Idaho Secretary of State's office, which handles campaign-related complaints, after he reads information forwarded from the sheriff's department's preliminary investigation/Christina Lords, Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

Question (with tongue firmly cheeked): Are you more likely to go to hell voting for Democrats or for Republicans?
