Idahoans Decide on Controversial Rank Choice Voting

It won't be long before Idahoans will vote on who will be the next president, members of Congress, local and state officials, and other issues. However, the biggest issue facing Idaho voters doesn't involve a candidate, it's about an issue. The battle over Rank Choice voting is coming to a close as both sides continue to lobby on the air and on social media. 

As we've seen through media reports, some folks have destroyed signs critical of Proposition One or Rank Choice Voting. If it is approved the state's dominant Republican Party could be in trouble.

On one side, you have the proponents of Prop 1, which would eliminate the need for political parties. A candidate must get over fifty percent of the electorate or face a runoff with the next most popular candidate. Backers of Prop 1 say Idaho's Republican Party is too mean and has too much power.

The opponents of Prop 1 point to how lousy rank choice voting has messed up Alaska. Two Republicans knocked each other out, allowing a Democrat to win their congressional seat. Several prominent lawmakers have taken to social media urging voters not to vote for Prop 1.

For those seeking more information, here is the official link to Prop 1, providing you with the necessary details to make an informed decision. We'll continue to update you on this story at it develops.
