Is AZ's Secretary of State trying to be 2012's Katherine Harris/Ken Blackwell?
Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who oversees state elections, reversed his stance on endorsing candidates this election cycle, saying detractors would still criticize him based on endorsements he made years ago.
During a televised debate with his Democratic opponent in 2010, Bennett, a Republican, told the audience it was improper for elections officials to weigh in on partisan issues.
Bennett is now co-chairman for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Arizona campaign.
Bennett's role with Romney's campaign raised questions last week after he confirmed that he has asked health officials in Hawaii to verify President Barack Obama's birthplace to ensure Obama can appear on Arizona's Nov. 6 ballot.

So, someone who verifies the vote and is strongly tied to the campaign (And this time he is trying to get the other guy off the ballot)... Where have we heard this before?
