I'm curious, Andy. Why not tell me? Aren't you running for office? Is it a secret to your voters as well?

Yes...I am running for office and as a Democrat...no my beliefs are not secret...but the issue is voting machines. As Secretary of State I have no sway over policies.

My only goal, in running for office is to make sure I get a paper ballot, proper transparent auditing and unbiased voter registration. I am here to educate FreeRepublic about the machines and the dangers they pose to our Democracy. There is no need to muddy waters. I respect every person’s political belief, even if I disagree. That is what has made America great

The issue I represent is blind when it comes to Race, Creed, Political Ideology, Left, Right, Gay, Straight, Catholic, and Protestant or naturalized Martian. We as Americans all agree our ballot is sacred. We may not always vote, but we want our votes counted as cast when we do.

Lets just say...on many issues we can agree! But there are many we can agree, to disagree on, as well. We can scrap hard on the other issues at another time. But before that, we need to address the most important part of our Democracy, the voting part.

Andy
