Ward stumbled at the last moment after leading for months. He forgot to file his financial disclosure forms, which spurred criticism.

It would be nice if Idaho counted its votes quickly, like they do in Kentucky.
The % of the vote counted differs... some with lower numbers say 1/3rd has been counted, the highest one says it’s 26%.
It’s not just that Ward would have no momentum, he’ll have to spend the next 5 and 1/2 months answering questions about his plagiarism of other political campaigns (including when his candidacy announcement was an almost-verbatim copy of Obama’s 2004 Democrat National Convention speech.
Labrador better win tonight, or Minnick will be in the catbird seat.
