Some people need to keep their mouth shut

This morning on KCBS they were interviewing Debra Bowen, who is the California Secretary of State. o you would think she knows what she is talking abou when it comes to elections.

Voter turnout is supposed to be the highest since 1976. THey asked Ms Bowen why this is. First she said that it was right about the time when the votring age was lowered to 18. Fair enough. Not a bad answer. Then she went on to say that there was a war on and they had the draft.

EXCUSE ME???? In 1976??? The draft had been over for a couple of years, combat troops had been coming out of Vietnam since 1973 and we completely fled the country in the middle of 1975. But this genius of a Secretary of State is on record as saying that we had the draft and were still at war at the end of 1976.
