Here are some points related to it: The majority of the CEC wanted the 9-1-25 contract for election services with the county, and actually voted for it as it was presented. Bruce Campbell, the County Chairman, didn't want the contract to pass, so he violated Robert's Rules of order to keep it from passing. He violated the rights of the members to vote on motions. He interfered with the CEC's authority to conduct the election. That sounds to me like interfering with the conduct of an election. He also ensured that non-transparent, vulnerable electronic voting machines that are connected to the internet are used in our election, contrary to the Republican Party Platform, which we supposedly support. He also blocked the CEC from exercising control of most of a REPUBLICAN election. Imagine that, it's a Republican election, but we have no say over most of it, and that was the position Bruce defended. Our oath is to the Constitution and the law; not the Secretary of State. Did you know the SOS is also opposing us having a closed primary? The law says we supervise the election, and not just part of it. The law says Jim Riley is supposed to provide the services we request; not dictate to us how he wants it done. According to the law, a governing body--that being the CEC--directs an administrator (Jim Riley) what to do, not the other way around, which is what Bruce was defending. The SOS is supposed to uphold the law, not contradict it, as they did in their directive telling us that we don't control most of our own election. What an embarrassment that a Republican Chairman is preventing his own party from exercising control of our election. True conservatives will stand up to government entities that violate the rights of citizens; a true conservative will not work with the establishment to squelch the voice of citizens. A true conservative understands his role as a lesser magistrate. Bruce has been totally out of line, and needs to be replaced.
