Mitch Hubbard, the Republican candidate for Missouri Secretary of State, said the biggest challenge facing the office is to guarantee fair elections and stop voter fraud. "Regardless of our party, when we go to vote, we expect to see ballot language that is clear and right," the candidate from Fulton resident said.[1]

Candidate calls for focus on election fraud

If elected current McDonald's restaurant manager wants to focus on election fraud.

"The system's not working, and we do have election fraud," Hubbard said. He supports legislation that would require voters to show government-issued photo identification to cast a ballot, and he opposes letting voters mail in ballots. Hubbard also supports current state laws that allow people to vote absentee only if they can show certain reasons for not being able to make it to the polls on Election Day.[1]

“We must make sure that there is not fraud happening,” Hubbard said. “That is the key. So it’s my position that we do need a voter ID, but we need to take steps to make sure no Missourian is disenfranchised.”[1]

He also calls for requiring college students to serve as poll workers at least once to graduate.[1]
