Idaho primary seen as light turnout amid dam disaster
Idaho voters head to polls Tuesday for an off year primary with 105 legislative seats and two congressional contests in the Second District. Secretary Pete Cenarrusa predicts turnout as low as 35 percent amid apathy after the Teton Dam flood, with polls open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and ballots in 13 counties on punch cards or voting machines. Incumbent George Hansen faces two GOP challengers in the Second District and Steve Symms is unopposed in the First.
