Att: Greene County Democratic vot­ers:
RE: County Clerk Race

As we all know, straight party vot­ing is now obso­lete in Missouri. The Republican con­trolled Legislature passed this along with the Voter ID bill to dil­lute the Democratic vote. Democratic Greene County Chairman, Craig Hosmer, stated last night that 160,000 more Democratic vot­ers chose the straight party ticket than Republicans in the last elec­tion. The Voter ID Bill was ruled uncon­sti­tu­tional by the Missouri Supreme Court but the ban on straight party vot­ing remains.

In our race in Greene County for County Clerk, Democrats have no per­son run­ning. However there is a Libertarian, Lorien Johnson, who is on the bal­lot. Since we can­not vote a straight party ticket, I urge all Democrats to vote for the Libertarian. Although she worked for Republican Senator Kit Bond, I feel she is the lesser of the two evils.

We need a change in the County Clerk’s office, espe­cially after he has moved polling places from pub­lic places (schools) to pri­vate places (churches) in the last few years. By mov­ing the polling places to churches, can­di­dates are restricted and banned from
par­tic­i­pat­ing in the elec­tion process by plac­ing their polit­i­cal signs at those sites.

Let’s take advan­tage of a Republican passed bad law and elect Lorien Johnson as our next County Clerk to get rid of one of their own.
