Idaho Republican Won’t Work to Increase Voter Turnout

Idaho Secretary of State candidate Mary Souza (R) said she would not support increasing voter turnout if elected to the state’s top elections role, the Idaho Press reports.

Said Souza: “I have a different look at that. I do not think that it is the secretary of state’s or even the county clerk’s role to increase turnout for any one party or even turnout in general. That is the role of the partisan groups, the special interest groups, people who are very supportive of a candidate or a ballot measure. That’s what they are supposed to be doing.”
