Joker: Idaho Needs An Emperor

Why don't we just scrap all elections in Idaho? Seriously, think of how much energy, time and money is wasted every year on these elections. The Republicans win every year -- let's make things efficient and move to a monarchy or an emperor of Idaho -- Joker.

Question: Joker has a good point. Wouldn't things be easier -- than the seemingly 24/7/365 election cycle that we're burdened with in Idaho, to keep electing ideologues -- if we simply created right of succession for the GOP?
