Bill targets party switchers

The Idaho Legislature is considering another primary election bill which, for voters who plan to vote Republican, further complicates this spring’s two primary elections. The new bill, SB 1195, proposes to move the deadline for switching party affiliation prior to voting in the upcoming May 17 primary election. The bill would move the current deadline for affiliating with the Republican Party from March 12 to Feb 12/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Have you ever seen a party work so hard to depress voter turnout than the Idaho Republican Party?
