Statesman: R’s Right To Keep Primaries Open

Idaho Republicans made the right vote Saturday on the behalf of the 60 percent of Idaho voters who don’t consider themselves Republicans. By a narrow 199-192 margin, GOP convention delegates rejected a bid to close their primary to Republican voters only. It wasn’t a ringing mandate, but they upheld a process that acknowledges and honors the independent nature of Idahoans/ IStatesman .

Question: Do you identify yourself as a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, or something else?
