Let’s take a look at the final primaries. On the GOP slate we had an incumbent who was doing his finest to signify the vast majority of his constituents, be they Republican, impartial or Democrat. Within the opinion of most he was doing a superb job pretty representing North Idaho.

His opponent ran on a platform that catered to a minuscule variety of far-right voters. Since solely registered Republicans might vote within the closed major and solely the actually devoted vote within the major, the incumbent misplaced.
