These are other ways to vet a political candidate: Disclosure of the candidates tax returns; Disclosure of a candidates academic records; Disclosure of their public service records; Disclosure of whether or not the candidate regularly voted; Disclosure of any criminal record, including civil crimes or settlements. An unwillingness to disclose information should be understood as an effort by the candidate to misrepresent their qualifications which is a fraud against the citizens of the the U.S. Asking the candidate what the words democracy, liberty, freedom, Constitution, and the phrases peaceful transfer of power and rule of law mean to them; and when a candidate states something that is false, they should be required to explain how they learned the falsehood and/or support their assertion with verifiable facts.
