Minnesota Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer opposes a proposed Code of Integrity " that would bar formal partisan activity by the office," the Star Tribune reports.

Just why the far right wing conservative Kiffmeyer opposes such a reasonable measure is a bit of a mystery. Could it be because she wants to be sure she can be partisan in the future, just as she has in the past? Such as in 2004 when she attended a campaign even on behalf of Laura Bush.

It's no secret that Kiffmeyer has politicized a formerly neutral office. She has, for example, stocked the office with far right wing staffers from organizations such as the radical right wing fundamentalist Christian organization Minnesota Family Council.

Kiffmeyer should support Integrity in election activities, not oppose it.
