Ballot arrived Friday. Looking through all the candidates. VPIRG has a list of links to candidates' platforms, and VTDigger has a candidate guide.
Sadly, not a single candidate for Secretary of State chose to respond to VTDigger's questions for the candidates.
Jim Condos; Democratic. Has a website with clear sections outlining why he's running and his positions on the issues that are important to him. I would prefer Issues to be further left; as it is, it looks like getting people involved in his campaign is more important to him than the issues.
Cris Ericson; Progressive. Discussed in the Lt. Governor's race.
H. Brooke Paige; Republican. Candidate's website claims to be for his Gubernatorial and AG runs, with no mention of Secretary of State. There is a laundry list of issues he wants to address, but again, nothing specific to the position he's running for here.
Pamala Smith; Independent. Has worked in the UVM library for 22 years; her website has a number of unclear menus across the top; for example "Updates (09/27)" and "News (09/24)". Why are these two different selections? There is a "Condos Files" page that has links to three videos that presumably give reasons why one shouldn't vote for Condos, but I don't know, because there's nothing in the text to indicate why I should go watch the video, so I'm not gonna. Her primary initiative is "Visually confirm your vote was cast just as you’d intended"; this is cool, but am not sure it's the #1 issue facing the Secretary of State.
