BOISE, Idaho — The Associated Press projected Tuesday night that Idaho Republican Gov. Brad Little has earned another term.
The AP called the race for Little minutes after polls closed. Pre-election polling and research on candidates’ electoral history help the AP call races quickly.
Initial results on the Idaho secretary of state’s website showed Little leading with 59.9% of the votes. Democrat Stephen Heidt, a retired teacher, so far has received the second-most votes, with 30.5% support, and independent Ammon Bundy, a conservative activist and militia leader, in third with 8.2% of votes.
