Idaho Gov. Otter to seek ‘path forward’ on education after initiatives defeated
Though his name wasn’t on the ballot, Gov. Butch Otter said he got the message from voters who soundly rejected education reforms he championed with state Superintendent Tom Luna.
"We need to celebrate the independence of the Idaho voter," Otter said. "The Idaho voter isn’t going to be led anyplace without some rational thought on their own, without some investigation on their own."

Luna and his allies misread Idaho – badly
But on the biggest races of the night, Idaho’s Republican machine found itself on the wrong end of a sledgehammer.
