About that little plaque in Wasden’s office…

After the Constitutional Defense Council meeting in Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden’s office today, I asked him about the framed item, set among various photos behind Wasden’s desk, that just featured the number 367,737.

Wasden said that’s the number of votes he received in the 2010 general election – a record for votes received by any candidate for an Idaho state constitutional office that still stands today. He was unopposed in that election, but so were two other state constitutional officers.

“That sits there to remind me that voters actually have approved of what I do,” Wasden said with a smile.
