America on Life Support: Every State Needs Election Integrity!
VOTER ID! NO STATE should implement Ranked Choice Voting or Open Primaries. REPORT ISSUES. Implement measures like those in Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order 35 (2024).

Two Common Sense Election Integrity Ideas
NO STATE (including Idaho) should implement Ranked Choice Voting or Open Primaries.
EVERY STATE should implement common-sense election integrity measures like those in Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order 35 (2024).
Let’s take a look…
1️⃣ NO: Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) & Open Primaries
🆕 DEFEATED! Proposition 1 “Idaho Open Primaries Act” on the Nov 5, 2024 Idaho ballot proposes both ranked choice voting (RCV) and open/jungle “top-four” primaries. Neither of these is good for the future of our state. On November 5, 2024, IDAHO RESOUNDINGLY VOTED “NO” on the Proposition 1 ballot initiative!
2️⃣ SECURE: Virginia-Style Election Integrity
Virginia Governor Youngkin truly understands election integrity. His 2024 Executive Order (EO) 35 “protects the casting of legal ballots by legally eligible voters in Virginia's elections, including with stringent ballot security, complete and thorough counting machine testing, and best-in-the-nation voter list maintenance.”
Every state should implement Virginia-style election integrity measures:
First through immediate executive order by Governors and implementation by Secretaries of State (because, well, we have big elections coming up in November 2024);
Then through appropriate state Constitutional amendments or Statute changes passed by legislatures.
