On the Ballot: Idaho voters will also decide other statewide and local measures on Nov. 3. Voters without ID can still use an affidavit, but a new law requires election staff to verify their information by phone. Courts: The Idaho Supreme Court, in a 3-2 ruling, upheld dismissal of a long-running lawsuit challenging the state’s public defense system, saying there was not enough evidence the new statewide system repeated the old system’s failures. Water Rights: The federal government is suing Idaho over state efforts to curtail water use at the Idaho National Laboratory and administer federal water rights. Rural Health: Gov. Brad Little announced Idaho has allocated its nearly $186 million federal rural-health grant to projects including telehealth, behavioral health and facility upgrades.
