Idaho state GOP sues county GOP, claiming its 'illegal conduct' will harm Republicans

The Idaho Republican Party and its chairman, Tom Luna, have filed suit against one of its county central committees, alleging the committee’s “illegal conduct” in favoring one candidate over another will cause irreparable harm.

The state party and Luna have asked the Fourth District Court in Ada County to temporarily stop the Bonneville County Republican Central Committee and its leadership from “continuing their unlawful activities with respect to the Republican primary elections” scheduled for Tuesday.

The motion for a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction is a legal maneuver that would stop the central committee’s alleged activities, if the court approves it.

The state party “will suffer irreparable harm if the (central committee’s) illegal conduct alters the outcome of the May 17 primary elections,” the lawsuit says.
