We all bitch and moan about the stolen elections in Ohio and Florida...but we sit by and do nothing as elections, which should be non-partisan, continue to be run by the Secretary of State office, which in most cases is an ELECTED position.
Did you know that Ohio is getting a new Secretary of State in the elections this year? Do we want it to go to the Republicans again so the same thing that happened in Ohio in 2004 happens again in 2008?
Jennifer Brunner is running in Ohio

According to the Toledo Blade, her opponent has more in the bank than she does.
In the race to replace Mr. Blackwell as secretary of state, Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Greg Hartmann has $627,130, compared with $415,190 held by his Democratic opponent, former judge Jennifer Brunner.
The 2006 races are about controlling Congress and State Houses and Governorships, but we also need to watch and elect the people who are watching over our elections and get them into office now, so we don't have a repeat of the 2000 and 2004 partisan destruction of our democratic voting process.
