On the occasion of the foot doctor's filing, here's a look at Chuck Allison's election priorities:
"Allowing voters to vote without showing proper ID, expanded use of Absentee ballots and satellite polling have reduced accountability making it difficult to validate the authenticity of the votes being cast. I want to work with the legislature and the Governor to increase accountability and safeguard the election process."
Now look at this excerpt from Mike Mauro's site:
During his time in office, he has focused on streamlining services and making the office more user-friendly for the residents of Polk County.
He believes in making government work for citizens and using technology to simplify services, cut costs and eliminate red tape for people seeking assistance from his office. He was one of the first Auditor’s in the nation to make voter registration and absentee ballot request forms available online.
Mauro's front page has links to voter registration forms in four languages; Allison has a press release attacking Vilsack's restoration of rights order.
Meanwhile, the other GOP candidate, Bob Dopf, boasts of his experience as the Bush 2 administration's "U.S. attorney responsible for monitoring election-related activities in the south half of Iowa for any signs of fraud or abuse."
Obviously fraud is bad. But contrasting these candidates and their diametrically opposed priorities, I'm left with one inescapable conclusion: Democrats want to help people vote. Republicans want to keep people from voting.
