Campaign themes
- Voting and Elections
|
|
Schoeller is in favor of stricter identification requirements for voters. Schoeller pointed to a study done by the Pew Center, which he says found 1.8 million deceased people still registered to vote, which indicates voter-fraud. He sponsored the state's photo ID bill, a controversial piece of legislation touching down in various forms around the country. The bill, which calls for compulsory presentation of proper photo-identification at the polls in order for their votes to count, he believes will protect Missouri's voting process from potential impersonators. As one of his two pillars for improving the office, Schoeller stated his plan to create a commission composed of election officials and citizens who would analyze voting-related statutes for the purpose of ensuring “every election is protected and that there is integrity in the process from beginning to end.” [7] The other is the creation of a fair-ballot commission. He described his vision for the committee during a campaign visit to Pregnancy Resource Center of Rolla Missouri as "comprised of four Republicans and four Democrats who would review the ballot initiatives and the way they are written."[8]
- Business regulations
In addition to lower taxes and diminished regulations, Schoeller proposes cutting down the number of registration classification choices the state currently presents aspiring business owners by over 80%, which he thinks will make the business environment friendlier. He told News Press Now in March 2012 that if this change is achieved, “somebody who wants to start their own business wouldn’t have to hire an attorney in order to know that they’ve filed correctly.”[7]
