One year, 50 episodes, and somehow "the talent" is still at it. NO ID celebrates its anniversary by deconstructing Idaho's M5M coverage of ballot wars, the limits of direct democracy, and gubmint accountability (lmao). Plus, a little Michigan electoral dysfunction, the charming practice of "trans-ing" confused minors down in Boise, and Coeur d'Alene's latest demonstration that city accounting is apparently optional.
