Dan of the County: I know most of our local focus regarding election related lawsuits has been on the Coeur d'Alene city race but there will be some interesting action in Boise Federal Court next month. As I understand it, that's when the next hearings will be where the Republican Party is suing to institute a closed primary system in Idaho. It sounds like there will be some expert witnesses around the 13-15th of October. I would love to be able to attend some of that but will be too busy getting ready for our own November election. That case could have some very far reaching ramifications. I expect all our Southern Idaho HBO types to go attend and let us know what is said and presented.

Question: Do you want to see Idaho Republicans close Idaho primaries?
