A State Dominated by One Political Party
Unlike other states, Idaho is dominated by the state's Republican Party. According to the Idaho Secretary of State's office, Idaho has over one million voters: 583,961 Republicans, 125,503 Democrats, and 275,329 Independent voters. In other words, it is a Ruby Red Republican state. The only place that the Democrats survive is in the super-urban area of Boise.
Don't Believe Everything You See or Read!
Idaho political veterans will tell stories of how many lies some politicians make in hopes of getting elected. It isn't unusual to get a door hanger, postcards, and text messages from two candidates running for the same office claiming the other is against Idaho Values.
You will get to meet most candidates as they'll knock door to door or appear at various candidate forums. We suggest you ask simple and direct questions. If they're worth anything, they'll answer you honestly.
