We want referees to enforce the rules, not play for one team. Should the same principle apply to county clerks and elections officials?

In this episode of Defending Ideas, host Nic Dunn sits down with Kevin Johnson, Executive Director of the Election Reformers Network, and Davis County Clerk Brian McKenzie to discuss whether county clerk elections should be nonpartisan. They explore the unique role of election administrators, the political pressures they can face, and whether removing party labels could strengthen public confidence in elections.
