As our state director and elections lead Kendal Shaber noted in her testimony this morning, the League is strongly opposed to any efforts to prevent lawful citizens from exercising their right to vote. The League's central mission is to work closely with election officials to support all voters, regardless of party, through the registration and balloting process. This requires us to understand and convey information about legal procedures that are becoming increasingly, and unnecessarily, complex. The League is fielding more questions from confused Idahoans about these moving target policies. 

Thank you again for your thoughtful questions and concerns regarding these bills this morning. We stand ready to oppose H599 as it heads to the floor and will watch with interest as H667 works its way through General Orders.

Sincerely, 

Jean M. Henscheid, Ph.D.
Co-President
League of Women Voters of Idaho
