Hager seems like a smart fellow but he’s also, unfortunately, got a touch of the madness like the others.
I liked Morales & Shelton’s answers the best. I don’t agree with “ranking” for voting. As a precinct committee person, it is very difficult to recruit and retain qualified poll workers for the elections. There needs to be statewide consistency in how county clerks conduct the elections, more training for all involved and more pay for the poll workers. Did IBJ not ask any questions about the other areas under the guidance of the Sec’y of State? Such as small business? Auto dealerships?
I’m a fan of ranked-choice voting. Hager is right in that a binary system is unhelpful and ranked-choice voting in other localities and countries has proven effective. Hager seems like the most level-headed of the three. To be perfectly honest, I don’t much care for what wealthy auto dealers think. They’ve had way too much leverage as it is.
“We all saw vote totals change in the middle of the night, with 100,000 votes cast at 3 a.m. for Bidden. That just doesn’t pass the smell test. I guess I’m dancing around a direct answer. I think it affected the totals in some states. I find it hard to believe Biden received 81 million votes, just by the lack of enthusiasm of people voting for him.”
With this statement, Knox County Clerk David Shelton disqualifies himself due to his obvious belief in the conspiracy theories advanced by Trump, Giuliani, Powell, and Lindell which were – and continue to be – baseless and without evidence. Our democracy can’t afford someone of his mindset having such a crucial role in the administration of elections in Indiana.
But that’s the base requirement for all these Republicans in this cycle. Their new idea to win elections to elect kooks as Secretary of State, then let them create chaos in each state to ensure the “right” person wins or that state legislators can just give the votes to Trump.
Ranked voting makes some sense as evidenced in states that have it.
Morales seems like a nice guy but like Attorney General Rokita has a self-serving memory of the past that often isn’t factual.
