50 prominent Idaho Republicans are supporting the Democratic nominee for state AG

Tom Arkoosh is a long-standing independent with broad appeal across party lines. His GOP opponent, Raul Labrador, is a far-right election denier who upset an incumbent Republican Attorney General who was not an election denier. Hopefully, along with Democrats and Independents, sensible Republicans will follow the lead of the 50 from the state's GOP who have come out in support of Arkoosh.

The other weird thing is lame-duck AG Wasden taking a pointless, hard right turn in recent opinions/statements. He always seemed to take a less crazy tack than the rest of his party.
