Horton wins by 285 votes
When all the votes were finally counted, Idaho Supreme Court Justice Joel Horton held his seat by just 285 votes. In unofficial final results, Horton had 74,665 votes to challenger Judge John Bradbury’s 74,380. Horton told the AP, “I’m pleased though I’d hoped it wouldn’t be this close, obviously.” Bradbury, who campaigned on a judicial reform platform, said, “I hope it’s a wake up call for some officials.”

Bill Sali defeated GOP primary challenger Matt Salisbury 60 percent to 40 percent; and Debbie Holmes defeated David Sneddon 70 percent to 30 percent in the 2nd District Democratic primary for Congress, while incumbent Rep. Mike Simpson took 85 percent against two challengers in the GOP primary.
