Democrat A.J. Balukoff concedes: "Late last night, I called Gov. Otter and congratulated him for his victory on Election Day, and I wished him all the best in his next term. I told the governor I would be honored to help in any way possible to make our state better, especially our education system. I urge the members of my party and all Idahoans to come together, through our common values, to pursue our shared goals, so that we may rise to the challenges before us. We ran a good race and we brought attention to some very important issues. And in the end, as a nation of free elections, we accept the decision of voters." More here.
