Boise, ID (CBS2) — Donald Trump won the Idaho GOP caucus by a landslide.

Donald Trump received 22,813 votes or 84.61 percent of the vote making him the winner of the Idaho GOP Presidential Caucus.

Nikki Haley came in second with 3,647 votes falling short with only 13.53 percent.

The AP reports that Idaho Lawmakers passed legislation last year to cut costs by moving all of the state's primary to the same date in May. But inadvertently eliminated the presidential primaries in the process.

The legislature considered a special session to reinstate the presidential primaries but was unable to agree on a time to reconvene, leaving both parties with a presidential caucus as the last option.

“I think there’s been a lot of confusion because most people don’t realize that our Legislature actually voted in a flawed bill,” said Jessie Bryant, who volunteered at a caucus site near downtown Boise. “So the caucus is really just the best-case scenario to actually get an opportunity to vote for a presidential candidate and nominate them for the GOP.”

One of those voters was John Graves, a fire protection engineer from Boise. He said the caucus was fast and easy, not much different from Idaho’s usual Republican primary. He anticipated the win would go to Trump.

“It’s a very conservative state, so I would think that Trump will probably carry it quite easily,” Graves said. “And I like that.”

The Democratic caucuses aren’t until May 23.

The last GOP caucuses in Idaho were in 2012, when about 40,000 of the state’s nearly 200,000 registered Republican voters showed up to select their preferred candidate.
