UCNI Opposes Precinct Reduction

On its Facebook site, United Conservatives of North Idaho issued this call to political arms Wednesday: "Last week December 20th the Kootenai County Commissioners had a meeting to vote on a reduction on the precincts from 71 to 44. Many citizens and precinct committeemen were there voicing the complaints of voter disenfranchisement. The Commissioners decided to take 2 weeks to look at some other ideas. Please come and help us keep our precincts the way they are so we can represent the people. The next meeting will be on January 3rd, 2:00 p.m. at the Kootenai County Administrative Building, 451 N. Government Way, CDA, Idaho. Which room? Follow the crowd."

Question: Do you support the proposal by Kootenai County Clerk Cliff Hayes to shrink the number of county precincts from 71 to 44?
