Paul Scott refused to back down from his unusual strategy of targeting transgendered people and refusing to allow them to change the gender designation on their driver's licenses.
As the Messenger previously reported, Rep. Scott entered the race for the Secretary of State job by declaring that he would "make it a priority to ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the sex on their driver's license in any circumstance." Asked what problem this was intended to solve, he told the Messenger that it was all about "preventing people who are males genetically from dressing as a woman and going into female bathrooms."
