Huckleberries Also Hears …

… That political gadfly Larry Spencer may have the votes to become GOP chairman of Region 1 (North Idaho). Which is interesting because he DIDN’T vote in the recent GOP primary. Bonner County Clerk Marie Scott confirmed for HucksOnline that Spencer is registered to vote in her county. But he didn’t do so. Nor did he seek re-election to the Bonner County GOP Central Committee as the committeeman from the Cocalalla precinct. Kootenai County Clerk Dan English told HucksOnline that Spencer isn’t registered to vote in Kootenai County. Your Huckleberry Hound didn’t check with the clerks of Boundary, Shoshone, or Benewah counties to see if the peripatetic Spencer is registered to vote in those counties. According to a Berry Picker, Spencer may have the votes to win the North Idaho chairmanship over two possible rivals.

DFO: I vote because I enjoy exercising my privilege to do so. Even if I didn’t, I’d still vote b/c you never know when a snoopy reporter or opponent might embarrass you by checking through the election books. It’s a good rule of thumb.
