Unlike in some other states, Idaho’s top two state executives do not run on a joint ticket, so she and Little competed and campaigned separately. When the pandemic hit in the spring, they quickly began to clash about how and whether to shut down businesses and public life.

So why wasn't she arrested or fined, and tossed out of office?

Later that month, the day after Little’s stay-at-home order was lifted, McGeachin attended a “Disobey Idaho” protest outside the Idaho Capitol building.

Not your lieutenant.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
