When two candidates for Idaho secretary of state said President Joe Biden lost the 2020 election, it likely wasn’t a surprise to voters closely following the Republican primary races in Idaho.
Sen. Mary Souza, of Coeur d’Alene, and Rep. Dorothy Moon, of Stanley, have campaigned for months on President Donald Trump’s “big lie,” that the election was stolen from him.
During this year’s legislative session, both lawmakers proposed sweeping changes to election laws based on perceptions that Idaho’s elections aren’t secure. And they’re sticking to that narrative in their campaigns to run Idaho’s elections.
