Here's what all of this means: For 16 days, VanderSloot was financing a campaign to hurt Bradbury and help his opponent, incumbent Justice Roger Burdick, and nobody knew. That's a pertinent fact because VanderSloot has a history of backing independent campaigns against former Supreme Court Justice Cathy Silak and former 7th District Judge James Herndon. Some people take a dim view of his activities and had they known about this effort, some of them might have voted the other way out of spite. But with disclosure coming a mere 17 hours before the May 25 primary election polls opened, few people got the word. Certainly absentee voters didn't know/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Should Idaho's campaign finance law be changed to prevent a recurrence of the sneak attack against Judge John Bradbury by VanderSloot and Idaho Citizens for Justice?
