🦹ED NOTE on the Gem State Heist 🦹
Our state is under attack by those who want to turn it into a corporatist leftist paradise, as they have CA, WA, OR, CO, and so many other formerly conservative states. As we’ve been imploring you for months: Study up and BE SURE TO VOTE on May 21.
We were fooled before moving to Idaho by all the “R” designations in the state legislature, so surely many others have been as well.
Unfortunately, we hear time and again that "conservative" voters are too busy to do deep research and just want someone to tell them whom to vote for. For these folks, we've found the ConservativesOf and Stop Idaho RINOS recommendations to be comprehensive and closest to our own values, though we certainly differ on a few recommendations. See our recommendations. We also use Gem State Chronicle’s Primary Pulse to find details about each candidate, along with interviews and endorsements by various organizations, some conservative, some not.
For conservatives who want to be high information voters, we set up a comprehensive voting guide with the best tools and recommendations we've found so far. People can find it here (short URL for sharing): https://tinyurl.com/yh8jhppm
For conservatives who just want the basics but have no time or interest for research, we've created a checklist and downloadable PDF with links. It's here (short URL for sharing): https://tinyurl.com/4he9c5mc
