Idaho Holds Libertarian Primary for First Time Since 2002

On May 17, Idaho held primaries for the four ballot-qualified parties, Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, and Constitution. This was the first time Idaho had held a Libertarian primary since 2002. When there are no contests in a party’s primary, the state doesn’t print up primary ballots for that party, and everyone who filed for the primary is deemed nominated.

Here is a link to the Secretary of State’s website, showing unofficial 2022 primary results. Somewhat more than 700 voters used a Libertarian primary ballot. Back in 2002, there were 1,179 voters who chose a Libertarian primary ballot, but back then, Idaho didn’t have registration by party and any voter was free to choose any party’s primary ballot.

Somewhat more than 516 voters in 2022 used a Constitution primary ballot.

Idaho Holds Libertarian Primary for First Time Since 2002 — 14 Comments

  1. 2 Libertarians running for Governor and zero for the 6 other statewide offices. Great.

  2. Idaho Libertarians also have a candidate for US House several down ballot Legislature candidates. 7 total statewide races, so they remain ballot qualified.

    Paul Sand, who won the ID-LIB gubernatorial primary, resides in White Bird. An interesting fellow, albeit perhaps somewhat eccentric. Having served several terms on city council, Sand is as qualified as any other third party candidate for a statewide race.

  3. Did Whitley get expelled from the Constitution Party for being a far left liberal and abortion supporter?

  4. I don’t know, and I’m not sure why my comment disappeared. Maybe there was a computer glitch or something.

  5. I have all the comments saved up to Isaac Cox. That includes comments from “King”, “Overton”, “Myron”, “A Walk on the Brown Side”, “Andy”, “Anonymous Penis-Haver”, “Save America”, “Shane”, “Dylan”, “Anonymous Penis-Haver” again, “Chris”, “Farfour”, and then “Isaac Cox”.

    If there are any others after this please let me know. I may post these comments on my blog so the truth about the abortionist Floyd Whitley remains on the record.
