I guess it’s the sort of things I mentioned powered by insane wingnut obsession that there MUST be something majorly wrong going on if a Democrat is ever elected to anything.
Still seems lacking…
Six. This is just another example of how the Republican party had driven Kansas off of a cliff.
Worth it? That’s like asking whether it’s worth sharpening a pencil to give it a point.
From Wikipedia on SB1070 the AZ “papers please” law:
“The major sponsor of, and legislative force behind, the bill was State Senator Russell Pearce, who had long been one of Arizona’s most vocal opponents of illegal immigration[40]
and who had successfully pushed through several prior pieces of tough
legislation against those he termed “invaders on the American
sovereignty”.[41][42] Much of the drafting of the bill was done by Kris Kobach,[42] a professor at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law[43] and a figure long associated with the Federation for American Immigration Reform who had written immigration-related bills in many other parts of the country.[44]
Pearce and Kobach had worked together on past legislative efforts
regarding immigration, and Pearce contacted Kobach when he was ready to
pursue the idea of the state enforcing federal immigration laws.[42] A December 2009 meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in Washington, D.C., resulted in that body drafting model legislation that embodied the ideas that Pearce presented.[45]”
Russel Pearce was recalled and tossed out of the AZ State Senate. Kobach is a goddam carpetbagger from Kansas who has no effing business writing laws for Arizona.

It rule #1 in dealing with Conservatives. What they accuse others of is what they are doing.

According to Kobach the voter was “not legally registered” to vote … seems to me the fault lies not with the voter but with the State of Kansas. How can someone who is not legally registered to vote cast a ballot? Don’t they have rolls of approved voters to check off as they vote? I know that every other state I’ve ever voted in does just that … oh, but wait, we are talking the land of people like Brownback and Kobach …

Voter ID would not have stopped any of these three episodes.

Here’s how I would put that:
One fraudulent Republican vote is sufficient justification for suppressing thousands of legitimate Democratic votes to prevent it.

The smart folks will quickly see that these cases have nothing to do with voter ID. GOP idiots will think this proves voter ID is needed.
The judiciary is supposed to be a separate and coequal branch of government, acting as a check and balance on the other two branches of government. I see the Kansas GOP adheres both to the unitary executive theory of the executive branch and Karl Rove’s wish that the United States become a permanent GOP majority nation.
Well, distracting it from same at least . . .
I believe the current term for “type” is “complexion”.
I’m guessing he moonlights for ALEC on the side to supplement his income.

If VW can game emissions tests with software, surely Diebold can game vote counts with same.
Form letter; five minutes.
And it certainly won’t be the poll workers’ fault if the voter can’t afford a 5-series.
Fuzzy math.
Preemption, whether it be in wars or criminal complaints to non-existent problems.
If they had Kobach would have ended the interview immediately. It’s one of the ways conservos exercise power, not talking to a doubting press while going on Fox to promote their beliefs in a friendly forum.
