This is a deep red state that Trump won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. It is red when it comes to the US Senate race, and it is red when it comes to all US House races. There is little to no chance of a Democrat winning a national race here. But Democrats can choose to vote third party and swap their vote with someone in a purple state where the Democrat does have a chance of winning a seat.
Senate Race
This is a Red state. No matter how you vote, the Republican incumbent, Jim Risch, is going to win this Senate seat! Therefore it is a wasted vote to vote Democrat in Idaho. You are safe voting for any of the third-party candidates on the ballot without risking the outcome of this election.
VOTE Natalie Fleming (Independent), Todd Achilles (Independent) or Matt Loesby (Libertarian) for US Senate!
And if you are uncomfortable voting for any of those candidates (even though they will not win), consider swapping your vote with someone in a purple state, where the Democrat really needs every vote to win. By swapping your vote, you can help end MAGA control of the Senate and put the brakes on Trump.
