We take nominations from the general public, and they go through a screening and voting, which has worked very well for the most part. But it's been a less-than-perfect system for long-dead inventors who don't have a constituency to push for them.

If someone tries to be a stand-in to take her place, that is not what the voters are voting for. They expect the wife to be at the governor's side.

Are we going to be able to hand out voting guides? Probably not with the same impact - not with the same effect. Because we can sit in the church and have Republicans and Democrats and independents who believe that basically we're all trying to work for a better world and a more just world - and we can have conversations about this. And we do that all the time in our more progressive churches.
