Bill Would Push Primary To August

Idaho’s Supreme Court overturned the state’s new legislative redistricting plan Wednesday, ordering a citizen commission back to work and throwing into doubt the state’s schedule for its May primary election. Thursday morning, a House committee will consider legislation to push the May primary back to August; the bill is sponsored by Rep. Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, (pictured) chairman of the House State Affairs Committee. Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysrusa, the state’s chief election officer, said, “We’re not jumping up and down opposing a move to August.” But, he said, “I happen to believe May’s a better time for an election than August, in the middle of the summer, just with people on vacation”/ Betsy Russell , SR.
