Idaho Republican Party take legal action over Bonneville County GOP flyer

The Idaho Republican Party is accusing the Bonneville County Republican Central Committee of violating election laws and party rules by distributing flyers listing endorsements of the “official Republican Party,“ a statement the Idaho GOP says is deceiving and against the party's policy of staying neutral in primary races. Attorneys working on behalf of the Idaho Republican Party and its chairman, Tom Luna, filed a complaint Thursday in Fourth District Court. They’re asking the court to issue a temporary restraining order to prevent the Bonneville County Republican Central Committee and the BCRCC chairman, Mark Fuller, from continuing to distribute the flyer and “similar false statements, which threaten irreparable harm to voters, candidates and the electoral process.” The Idaho GOP argues that the BCRCC violated party bylaws by endorsing candidates in contested Republican primary election contests for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, the Idaho Legislature and statewide offices.
