83. Time for a non-partisan Secretary of State
"A GOP Secretary of STate can influence what voting machines are bought here, obstruct recounts, and figure out creative ways to toss Democratic registrations, purge Dems off voter rolls, withhold voting machines in minority precincts, and all the other disgusting things we saw in Ohio and Florida."

A Democrat Secretary of STate can do the same thing to Republicans. We need an INDEPENDENT!
