2018 Offered Democrats Choices
If you’ve been living in Idaho for a while, you know that the Democratic Primary is usually just a formality. In most cases, the ballot offered a list of candidates with no alternatives. As a result, we’ve considered ourselves lucky to have any Democrat stand for office. Unfortunately, in many races, this is still the case. However, this year is different in some ways. For a change, there several contested races throughout the Democratic ticket. Consequently, if you cared about the outcome, complacency was not an option this year. Hopefully that will be reflected in the vote totals. With clear choices, we should expect to see an increased turn out and a higher sense of motivation to vote. Let’s see how it pans out.
