Idaho Attorney General Says Top-Four Initiative Violates the Single-Subject Rule

On June 6, Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador issued an opinion, saying the initiative to set up a top-four system, which is about to start circulating, violates the “single-subject” rule for initiatives. The opinion says that whether or not Idaho should use ranked choice voting is a separate subject than whether to abolish the ability of parties to have nominees.

If the proponents of the initiative wish to go ahead, they are free to do so. The Attorney General’s Opinion does not prevent the proponents from sticking to their text.

The Opinion also says that the State Constitution, which requires election by plurality, does not permit Ranked Choice Voting.

  1. Obviously another witch hunt against Trump. They know he’s a threat to the deep state. Meanwhile Biden takes bribes, Blatantly violates the Constitution, not to mention Hunter’s crimes. Where are those charges?

  2. SUPPOSEDLY GRAND JURY STUFF IS ONE MORE TOP SECRET.

    INFORMING ANY BODY THAT HE/SHE IS A *TARGET* IS MORE NEW AGE LUNATIC PROCEDURE STUFF

    … INSTANT REASON FOR TARGET TO ATTACK OR FLEE REGIME.

  3. @WZ

    He is clearly wrong that the initiative may not be used to prescribe the manner of congressional elections.
