Why would anyone be against right to vote?

| August 1, 2023 1:00 AM

Every eligible Idaho voter should have the right to vote. The open primary initiative will hopefully be on the ballot in November 2024. Currently, there are plans to get enough signatures to get this important initiative on the ballot.

Unfortunately, there are individuals and groups who are threatened by this initiative. They want to stay in power, and are claiming Idaho voters are not smart enough to vote in an open primary.

The open primary system has been successful in the states of Alaska and Maine, and I don’t believe those voters are any smarter than Idaho voters.

Why would anyone be against the right to vote? While it is true that communist China and other countries are controlled by dictators, and do not allow people to vote, it is our constitutional right in Idaho to vote.

Please educate yourself about the open primary initiative, and please join me in signing the petition to get this very important initiative on the ballot for November 2024.
