CQ Politics has this very important post, which explains that Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury and California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson have signed a pledge of nonpartisanship which includes a promise not to “serve in any ongoing official capacity on a campaign supporting any candidates.” Ths is an important and excellent development, and I hope that the NASS will follow suit, eventually endorsing the IDEA code of conduct. (For more analysis on this point, see my recent Washington and Lee Law Review article on election administration reform).
Thanks to David Kimball for the link.
