Blog: Denney plays faves with billboards

The Idaho GOP’s quest to keep the riff-raff out of their primary elections now has a friend in the state’s Executive branch. Lawerence Denney, once (and deposed) Speaker of the House is now Secretary of State. He’s put up billboards highlighting the Presidential Primary March 8 without room to mention that the Democrats are using a caucus (as they have done for many presidential election cycles), and that’s on March 22. The billboard is nominally an ad for the idahovotes.gov site, which has information about registering to vote, where to vote and so on, and a headline redirection to the SOS page with election and caucus dates and links to the three parties’ (Republican, Constitution, Democratic) websites for more details/ Fort Boise .
