19th Amendment Foe to Oversee Elections?

Sen. Kay O'Connor announced Wednesday that she is seeking the GOP nomination for [Kansas] secretary of state next year. O'Connor, 63, has served in the Legislature since 1993.

In 2001, O'Connor received national attention for her remarks about the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1920, which gave women the right to vote.

"I think the 19th Amendment, while it's not an evil in and of itself, is a symptom of something I don't approve of," she said at the time. "The 19th Amendment is around because men weren't doing their jobs, and I think that's sad. I believe the man should be the head of the family. The woman should be the heart of the family."

This is dangerous. You just know she's going to implement poll tests that circumvent the 19th Amendment (e.g., "What's the score of a forfeited football game?").
