Hendrickson the CLEAR winner

SEPT 27 2007

Bruce Hendrickson clearly held his own against incumbent Tray Grayson in the Secretary of State Debate tonight. Among the issues discussed was the "Party Ticket Issue" Grayson opposed allowing Kentucky voters the option of voting a straight ticket, Mr. Hendrickson eloquently touted the virtues of a straight ticket.

After all if you agree with the platform of a particular party why shouldn't you be able to express that agreement with the simple push of a button? Hendrickson also came out in strong favor of a voter receipt.

That is to say that even with a paper ballot touted by Grayson Mr. Hendrickson would still provide the voter with a paper receipt reflecting their choices at the polls. Citing the receipt you get at Wal-Mart Mr Hendrickson stated why should voters be denied the same benefit at the polls? If you will recall Grayson opposed any sort of receipt for voters and apparently still does.

Mr. Hendrickson clearly wants to re enfranchise the voters in Kentucky and give the individuals control over the polls and not have the polling place able to control the vote. Overall Mr. Hendrickson was brief in his answers and to the point. The fact that he firmly believes that the people should control the government and that Government should be the servant of the people came through loud and clear.
