Republican Scott Schwab and Democrat Brian McClendon disagree on the most basic of questions about the job theyre competing for, Kansas secretary of state.
Case in point: Is it the secretarys job to increase voter turnout?
Schwab, a lawmaker of more than 10 years, says no. He says the things that drive voters to the polls lie beyond the secretarys control times of war, ailing economies, contested races.
The secretary of state cant make people vote and I cant change peoples hearts, he said. All I can do is make sure its a good experience when they do go vote.
