Split primary causing confusion

It’s not just the Republicans who are confused about this year’s caucus and primary elections. “The Democrats are just as confused as the Republicans,” said Paula Neils, chair of the Kootenai County Democrats, explaining how her party is using the caucus system to select its candidates for this year’s general election in November. Neils said the Democrats are starting to talk about doing it differently to reduce some of the confusion. “A lot of us are thinking maybe it’s better to simply have a primary,” she said.
