Chair: Why we removed Dem organizer

In a letter to the Bonner Daily Bee, Ken Meyers, of Sagle, chairman of the Bonner County Democratic Central Committee, explains why Democrats decided to pull an Democratic organizer from the 1st Legislative District:

"I am chair of the Bonner County Democrats Central Committee. The following really did happen. As our party organizer began identifying potential voters he had several encounters that began with a single person in a local grocery store letting him know “they” knew who he was and that he should watch his back. The confrontation then escalated with him being confronted by a group as he went to his car after work. They were around his car, some leaning on it. Some members of the group had on or wore clothing items indicating they supported Heather Scott. After this incident we were worried about the organizer’s safety and moved him to new housing in a remote location outside Sandpoint. Late at night a vehicle drove down this driveway and photographed the location, the organizer’s car and license plate. Incidents were reported to the Bonner County sheriff." More here.

Question: Would you want to be a Democrat or a moderate Republican in Bonner County?
