Why is the Idaho panhandle taking so long to report?
A good portion of it is in the Pacific Time Zone. Perhaps that has something to do with it.
All of it is in the Pacific time zone and turnout was sky high. The caucuses only finished a hour and thirty minutes ago in Kootenai County.
Check out out that clear divide between north Idaho and the south. Why are we in the same state, again? I was expecting Romney to do really poorly up here but not this poorly. Paul is won an absolute majority in both Boundary and Latah County. Romney didn't receive one vote in Clearwater County (lol).
The Idaho GOP is using some sort of bizarre method whereby they hold a runoff between the top two candidates at each individual caucus site if no one reaches 50% of the vote there. That's what occurred in the several counties where you see only two candidates receiving votes.
