Frankly, we would have liked to be able to endorse sitting Secretary of State Bruce McPherson (who was appointed to the job after Kevin Shelley was forced out of office in a scandal). McPherson, a Santa Cruz Republican (!), represented the Central Coast well as a state senator.


But he has declined to take a strong position on protecting the sanctity of votes in the face of controversial changes in voting technology. That issue lies at the heart of this job.


Debra Bowen, a termed-out state senator, believes some of this new technology could be an invitation to fraud, and we agree. Right now California needs a secretary of state who is rigorously skeptical. That’s Bowen.
