Idaho Deadlock Persists in Senate Battle of Five Ballots
Five ballots in Boise fail to break the stalemate between senators Brady and Airshie as Borah’s stance looms. Ballots show 34 34 on opening vote, Brady rising to 35 on the third, and 34 32 on the fifth with multiple fringe votes. Speculation grows that Borah may seek a dark horse solution, possibly elevating E H Dewey of Nampa, though Brady backers still forecast an end tomorrow with Brady’s victory.
