We're going to be electing the next leader of the free world here in just three weeks.

So why is there so much "My vote doesn't even matter" energy in the air in Idaho?

In 2020, only 65% of eligible Idahoans voted in the presidential election.

First of all, your vote counts. You should absolutely vote. Regardless of whichever party or candidate you support, get out and vote.

Now, to address the question at hand: Does Idaho matter in this year's presidential election?

Well, let's look at some quick numbers. This is how the majority of Idaho voters cast their ballot in past presidential elections:

Keep in mind that other states with similar voting track records have been flipped the other way, and Idaho isn't immune either. One thing we've learned with the past few elections is, nothing is set in stone, and it ain't over 'till it's over.

If you want to see Idaho vote the same way again in 2024, or you feel your vote should take us in a different direction, we're once again imploring you to get out there and vote.
