In November, the office of Indiana Secretary Indiana Secretary of State (“SoS”), established by IN’s Constitution, Art. 6, § 1, will be on the ballot. Our system of government depends upon our right to vote being safe. Indiana’s SoS is IN’s chief elections officer. I.C. 3-6-3.7-1. 1/5

In 2020, Connie Lawson, a Republican, was SoS and there were no credible complaints of voting irregularities. Destiny Wells, Democratic Party candidate for SofS, is a combat veteran who has been endorsed by VoteVets. She also has stated her opposition to neofascism. 2/5

The % of votes a party’s candidate receives for SoS determines if a party holds a primary (free publicity). I.C. 3-10-1-2. Libertarian Jeff Maurer is that party’s SoS candidate. He’s an Air Force vet & graduated fr Washington Univ in St. Louis, but on one’s said he’s a Cardinals’ fan. 3/5

As a Republican in good standing & primary qualified, GOP rules prohibit me from supporting any candidate running against a GOP candidate, in this instance, Diego Morales who raised more $ than his opponent, won the primary & seems to be an election denier. 4/5

The SoS’s duty is to guard the system. Be careful when you cast your vote for SoS. I did not say I support Destiny Wells or Jeff Maurer. Seriously. I’m Mark Small: pro-voting rights, pro-choice, GOP nominee, Indiana House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 5/5
