Yesterday's Washington Examiner reported on some of the results of George Soros' involvement in our elections in recent years. In 2006 George Soros funded the Secretary of State Project, a liberal activist group whose goal was to put Democrat Secretaries of State in place to help Democrats win elections. Their most visible success was the Minnesota Senate recount where a victory for Norm Coleman eventually became a victory for Al Franken. Recent news stories have reported that a large number of the ballots counted came from convicted felons.
The Washington Examiner reported that in Tuesday's election Republicans won 17 of 26 of the races for Secretary of State--defeating six incumbent Democrats. There are now 25 Republican Secretaries of State and 22 Democrat Secretaries of State.
Another of George Soros' recent projects was trying to change the redistricting in California that will be done in response to the census from the non-partisan group that is in charge of drawing up districts to the control of the state legislature. The measure failed and the redistricting will remain in the hands of a Citizens Redistricting Commission.
It is to the credit of the American voter that both of these efforts to control our electoral process have been stopped.
