Nebraska’s race for Secretary of State is about more than who occupies the office. It comes as the country debates mail voting, federal involvement in elections, voter data and public confidence in the system.
Democratic candidate Sarah Slattery joins Dan Parsons to explain why she believes she should be Nebraska’s next chief election officer.
Dan presses Slattery on whether Nebraska’s election system is fundamentally working, the security of voting by mail, voter ID, petition fraud, federal access to Nebraska voter information and what political neutrality means for an office filled through a partisan election.
And there’s a crucial hypothetical: If Slattery were Secretary of State and her own party challenged an election that Nebraska officials determined it had lost, would she certify the result?
It’s a wide-ranging conversation about the future of Nebraska elections — and the responsibilities that come with running them.
