GOP Purge To Be Complete Tuesday

The percentage of eligible Idahoans who vote in a primary election has hovered between 17.7 percent and 16.8 percent for almost a decade. That’s one in six. And it’s going to drop further Tuesday. Anyone choosing to vote in the Republican primary will be compelled to register as a GOP loyalist. Whatever their leanings, you can bet some people just are independent and cantankerous enough to stay home as a protest. Others may feel they have no choice but to abstain. For some - government staffers, faculty members, teachers, journalists, judges and business owners — stating a party preference in a public document may be just too high a price to pay to exercise their franchise. Throw in the fact this will mark the first time since 1976 that Idahoans will not cast a presidential primary vote.
