Denney’s 1st 6 Months Are Quiet

Lawerence Denney wants to bring optional online voter registration to Idaho, saying it could give people more time to register before Election Day and cut down on waiting for same-day registration at the polls . He thinks that the state’s financial disclosure reporting requirements, which state Republicans officially want to see eased, should remain as is, and that employees of executive departments and other state entities whose job duties include lobbying lawmakers or agencies should have to register as lobbyists. And he worries that the $2 million statewide Republican presidential primary next March, created on a party-line vote in the Legislature earlier this year, might hurt voter turnout in the regular state primaries that come two months later. Denney, a Republican, is coming up on six months — six quiet months — into his first term as Idaho’s secretary of state/ Bill Dentzer , Idaho Statesman. More here.
