Support Secretaries of State in 2006 who will protect voter rights in 2008

Update on 2007 races.

2007 has been a grim election season with no reform candidates running for Secretary of State.

And the results show it, with Republican romps in two states and a tight race in Kentucky only because of strong gubernatorial coat tails.

Republican Jay Dardenne handily won the Louisiana race for Secretary of State - he had no serious opposition in the race.

Republican Delbert Hosemann is riding a strong financial advantage to a likely win in Mississippi over democrat Rob Smith.

Republican Trey Grayson clings to a narrow lead in Kentucky. The democratic candidate, Bruce Hendrickson, is a strong advocate of voter ID and a gun rights activist. The only reason he is this close is becuase he benefits from the democratic voting wave.

It makes you wonder what these 2007 races could have looked like with progressive candidates and a strong grassroots ground effort.

There are several progressive candidates lining up for 2008 races. Stay tuned for opportunities to make a difference in 2008.
