Campaign to pass Proposition 1 raises more than $1 million
The campaign to eliminate partisan primaries and implement ranked-choice voting in Idaho has amassed more than $1.1 million ahead of the November election.
Campaign finance data show the majority of money raised by Idahoans for Open Primaries comes from donors within the state.
More than two-thirds of that $1.1 million comes from companies, trusts or political action committees.
That includes big donations from the election reform PAC Unite America, Reclaim Idaho and the charitable foundation linked to the founder of Northwest River Supplies in Moscow.
Idahoans for Open Primaries hasn’t spent much just yet. It has about a million dollars in reserve as of Friday.
Only two groups have spent money to oppose Proposition 1 so far.
A PAC called Republicans for Idaho has paid $86,000 for billboards to defeat the measure.
Republicans for Idaho is run by two employees at Melaleuca and lists the company’s Idaho Falls headquarters as its address.
Melaleuca is owned by the state’s richest man and notable Republican operator, Frank Vandersloot.

Sunday saw crystal clear skies, and Idaho won’t see any changing conditions until next month.
Very consistent weather is on the way for the Gem State. After a week-long inversion, Idaho is again in for a week-long period of weather that won’t change much. No showers or snow in the forecast, and temperatures sitting in the 40’s.
Heading into the next weekend, that is when we will see the most change with 50’s returning as the highs on the valley floors. As for any shift coming to the skies, we will have to wait until February to see that.
Continue to stay warm and have a good week, Idaho!
