Idaho Republicans: Presidential Caucus Tuesday Night
Just a reminder that in every county, there will be one or more meetings where those who were registered Republican at least 30 days in advance can participate in deciding to whom delegates will be assigned for the Republican nomination. One younger voter expressed his dismay to me that he could not participate, because he was not registered Republican early enough; he was interested in participating to help select the weakest possible Republican, and thought that there was something unfair about being excluded!

According to the GOP site, the Idaho Statesman, and KTVB you can register at the Caucus as a Republican (at the door).

Who votes in the Caucus?
All registered Republican voters in the county are eligible to vote in the County Caucuses. Voters may register to vote as Republicans as they enter the Caucus site.

Remember to register: With party registration required for the first time this year in Idaho, organizers urge voters to bring completed voter registration forms with them. A form available on the Ada County website is valid statewide. Either a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number are required to register.

Local voters (ages 18 and above on election day) are encouraged to participate in the event. To do so, they'll first have to locate and travel to one of the many Republican caucus centers located throughout Idaho. Voters must also register with Idaho's Republican party before they participate in the caucus. However, those who aren't registered at the time of the caucus may do so on site.
It is despicable for someone to intentionally try to subvert a nomination as that Obama supported wanted to do!
I've often wondered if Libertarians would make better traction, at least in a State like Utah or Idaho, if they would just pick a major party that has minor influence (like Democrats tend to do in Utah), and just invite enough people to overwhelm the various caucuses.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that would take planning and foresight--two things that tend to be absent in big-L Libertarian thought!
Epsilon, It's called the free state project, and they're doing it in New Hampshire right now.
