Idaho GOP convention delegates to vote on batshit resolution banning recently registered members from voting in primaries

So far most of the coverage of the Idaho Republican Party’s official platform as their three day convention goes on is about how they’re adopting a resolution calling President Joe Biden’s election illegitimate just like the Texas GOP did at their last month. But an even dumber and more evil line in the party platform concerning the eligibility of voters in Republican primaries was passed by a delegate committee Friday, the Idaho Capital Sun reports.

The new rule, if implemented, would allow GOP county and legislative district central committees to disqualify voters who were affiliated less than 12 months before the next primary election held in an even-numbered year, deregistered with the Republican Party at any time in the prior 39 months, donated to more than one candidate of a different political party for office less than 25 months before a primary, registered with any other political party less than 25 months before a primary, or voted in a primary for any other political party less than 25 months before a primary.

The resolution does not explain how any of this is supposed to be enforced, but it clearly seems aimed at raising the bar for stealth Democrats re-registering with the GOP to try to tone down the extremism of Idaho Republicans. Idaho is an open primary state, the Idaho GOP itself however closed its primaries to non-members in 2012. Probably the best part is that the resolution’s sponsor, delegate and former state Senator Branden Durst, who lost the GOP primary for state education department chief in May – blaming it on the state’s “Democrat primary crossover problem” – was himself a Democrat until switching parties and registering as a Republican in 2020, likely less than 25 months before he ran and presumably voted for himself in the primary.
