The fraught politics of this election season extend beyond the big campaigns, to bids for lesser-known statewide positions. In the race for California’s next Secretary of State, Dem incumbent Debra Bowen is battling GOP newcomer Damon Dunn. Bowen points to her track record of defending the integrity of state voting, while Dunn hopes to extend registration efforts to minority voters. The victor will be responsible for monitoring the integrity of state voting, election contributions, and new technology meant to smooth registration and access to information. How do Bowen and Dunn propose to do all that? Will incumbent experience or newbie enthusiasm win?
