Josh Boschee, the Democratic-NPL nominee for North Dakota Secretary of State, stands up for election integrity
A week ago or so, Josh Boschee, the Democratic-NPL nominee in this year's election for North Dakota Secretary of State, sent out this tweet criticizing incumbent North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger, who is seeking re-election as an independent, over his silence on the issue of Russian interference in American elections:
Now, back to my point about election security...Josh Boschee understands that protecting the electoral process from interference by the Russian government or any other foreign government is vital to ensuring that elections are free and fair. North Dakota might have one of the more Putin-resistant election systems in America due to the lack of a formal voter registration system, but the fact that Al Jaeger is silent when it comes to protecting North Dakota's election system from Russia's cyberattacks against American democracy should be downright alarming to North Dakotans. I encourage North Dakotans to vote for Josh Boschee for North Dakota Secretary of State on November 6.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: North Dakota is one of two states, the other being Minnesota, where the state chapter of the Democratic Party operates under a different name than Democratic Party.
You may be asking yourself this question: why isn't Al Jaeger running for re-election as a Republican candidate? Here's the answer to that question: Jaeger, who has previously been re-elected multiple times as a Republican, actually did attempt to run for re-election as a Republican, but he lost the Republican endorsement at convention to Will Gardner, and Gardner ended his campaign for secretary of state after it became public knowledge that he pleaded guilty in 2006 to disorderly conduct after a window-peeping incident, which left the Republicans without an official nominee for secretary of state, so Jaeger re-entered the secretary of state's race as an independent. This unusual situation resulted in the Democratic-NPL being the only political party in North Dakota to have a full slate of statewide candidates in North Dakota, even though the Democratic Party's presidential nominee got less than 30% of the vote in North Dakota two years ago.Who are we supposed to trust?— Joshua Boschee (@JoshBoschee) August 2, 2018
Al Jaeger is silent.
