I was taken back after Attorney General Labrador’s lost court case involving misinformation around the Open Primary Initiative to discover that Dorothy Moon and the Idaho Republican Central Committee’s efforts in opposing the Open Primary Initiative seem to center on ranked choice voting, right down to a new pamphlet on the subject and Sarah Palin’s experience with it.
Not only are open primaries and ranked-choice not related, but they’re not even close. One is a method for electing public officials, while the other is an attempt to remove voter restrictions. To be perfectly clear, the proposed initiative is only about the latter.
