Idaho Republican Party Files New Lawsuit to Close Primary
April 13th, 2008
On April 11, the Idaho Republican Party filed a lawsuit in federal court, to obtain a closed primary for itself. See this news story.

In 2007, a group of Idaho Republican Party leaders had filed a similar lawsuit, but that lawsuit lost because it hadn’t been filed by the party itself. According to the article, this time the Republican Party itself is a co-plaintiff.

The Idaho Republican Party is the third state unit of a major party to file such a lawsuit. The Virginia Republican Party already won its lawsuit, and we are awaiting a decision from the 5th circuit in the Mississippi Democratic Party case. Thanks to Steve Rankin for this news.

I went to the court house today and it sounds like it wont pass. You cant even register in Idaho. they have no way to track your party. I was going to register republican to be safe and the girl (who was cute by the way) said there is now way to do it. I don't know about you guys but i have never known a cute girl to lie.

The Senate did voted to make the Primary were you have to ask for the Party ballot you want to vote for. Thow the House did not vote on it.

Both Houses pass House bil 606, the Anti-Real ID Act bill, and Governor Ottor signed it. However the bill let's him to let the Real ID Act to go ahead with an Executive Order any way.

Adds to existing law relating to the implementation of the Federal REAL ID Act of 2005 to state findings of the Legislature; to direct the Idaho Transportation Board and the Idaho Transportation Department not to implement the provisions of the REAL ID Act of 2005; and to provide for security of driver's licenses and identification cards.
