Subject: RE: BS: National Initiative & Referendum Results
The Eminent Domain issue on the ballot in Idaho went down to a blazing defeat for two very simple reasons:

1. It wasn't necessary, as the State Legislature had dealt with the problem last Summer, and,

2. It was funded, pushed and backed by VERY out-of-state interests (specifically a New York developer), and buddy, that's the kiss of death in Idaho.

With a 76%+ margin defeating the issue you can assume that Democrats, Republicans, Constitutionalists, and Libertarians (Idaho's "Big Four") all voted against it.
