OPINION: GOP should uphold electoral process integrity

Data is important. Especially in the realm of Idaho politics, where fear and innuendo dominate the landscape.
A case in point is found in the recent release of the Ninth Annual Idaho Public Policy Survey by Boise State University's School of Public Service. The voters surveyed — by a three-to-one margin — prefer presidential primaries over a caucus. Yet the State GOP leadership has foisted a caucus upon the voters.
I can understand why GOP Chair Dorothy Moon and her inner circle desire a March 2nd caucus. They explain so in their propaganda: They want to be one of the first states in the presidential nominating process. They argue that the May primary is too late in the game for our state to be relevant. Never mind that eight years ago in May, the GOP nomination was still a contest between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
