LDS Church, Catholic Diocese give $1.3 million against Idaho Prop 1
Original: LDS church, Catholic Diocese donate $1.3 million to oppose Idaho’s Prop 1
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Catholic Diocese of Boise have donated a combined $1.3 million to the campaign opposing Idaho's Proposition 1, a ballot measure that would change how the state's primary elections work, introducing a top-four primary system with ranked-choice voting for the general election. The large joint contribution from two of the state's most influential religious institutions has drawn attention ahead of the vote, with opponents of the measure gaining a significant financial boost.
Why now: The churches' large combined donation to defeat a ballot measure is significant news in a campaign season in Idaho.
