How People ACTUALLY Vote with Trent Tripple
Trent Tripple is the Ada County Clerk and has compiled the most complete analysis of voting records (all anonymous, of course) and voting habits for Ada County to date. He brought in the compiled data, and we not only looked over that but also checked out the ballot verifier for the county, which allows anyone to audit the votes of the entire county, all 240,000 of them. The amazing thing, as you'll see, is that people are far more complex when voting than some would have you believe.

Supporting Prop 1 - Open Primaries and Rank Choice Voting with Hyrum Erickson
Hyrum Erickson is a Republican Precinct Committeeman in district 34 and an avid supporter of Prop 1, Idaho’s Open Primary and Rank Choice Voting initiative.
