Meanwhile, we ran into Rep. Tommy Merritt at the Capitol recently. "My platform is to be a fair speaker. To work with the members to help them represent their district. I believe that with the narrowing of the vote, that if we have a partisan speaker, it will be a train wreck. I believe that a person should be able to vote for the speaker in a format that is fair." Specifically, Merritt called for a ballot box, where the ballots are destroyed after they have been counted "just like any other election."
