IDAHO, USA — Idaho Governor Brad Little endorsed Donald Trump for president at 1:40 p.m. on the day of the Idaho Republican Caucus, Saturday, Mar. 2.

"We need to fix our open border, curb the out of control spending, and push back on liberal policies. It’s time to get rid of Joe Biden and put President Trump back in The White House," the governor posted on social media. 

Idaho's GOP hasn't held a caucus since 2012. 

During the voting process, voters will cast their vote through a secret ballot, which is different from the usual caucus where voters usually divide into groups based on their preferred candidate. In this year's election, voters will proceed to a designated voting area where they will receive a ballot, fill it out, and then cast their vote into a ballot box.

The Tabulation Committee then will stack ballots by candidates, which will be counted twice for accuracy and send them off to the state party headquarters. Another committee will unseal the ballots and verify the totals.

The candidate who receives more than 50% of the votes is declared the winner and will earn all 32 of Idaho's delegates to the Republican National Convention.
