Huckleberries Hears …

... that Kootenai County Republicans who want to participate in the Idaho caucus locally on Super Tuesday are having a rough time contacting the local Republican office. The Kootenai County Elections Department gives callers the number of the local Republicans to call: 765-8259. A pleasant, recorded female's voice answers the call, telling callers how excited local Republicans are to participate in Idaho's first caucus. She then asks callers to leave a number, promising a live person will get back to them ASAP. Only they don't. An insider tells Huckleberries: "People are angry. No one answers the phone. It is voice mail only.  No one returns their calls even when they leave messages."
