Kobach will soon be as busy as the Maytag repairman.

And, of course, this is just a tactic to divert people from noticing that the Rethugs control whatâs left of the smoking ruin called âKansas,â

Where will Kobach ever find the time to personally try so-o-o many voter fraud cases?

In 2004, Thomas Frank wrote " Whatâs the Matter With Kansas. After they reelected Brownback with his disastrous record, he needs to follow up with a book titled, WTF Kansas? Consider this:
Republican officials in Kansas are pursuing increases in sales and excise taxes â which have the ultimate effect of making it more expensive to be poor. And in Kansas, unlike many states, there are taxes on food. Poor and working-class Kansans already carry a heavy burden under the stateâs tax system, compared to people of modest incomes in most other states. Among the fifth of the Kansas population with the lowest incomes, the average person pays 11.1 percent of what they make in state and local taxes, including sales taxes. Among the wealthiest one in every 100 Kansans, the average tax bill is just 3.6 percent of annual income, according to a recent report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
Really? WTF Kansas? Your elected officials cut spending on education, services, and safety net programs AND then raise taxes? The only voter fraud issue you have in Kansas is being committed against yâall by your elected Republican leadership.

âIn April TPM also reported that the chief data officer for the Republican National Committee suggesting that voter fraud really only constitutes âabout 1 percentâ of votes cast.â
What study supported that assertion? One in every hundred people we all see outside a polling place is casting a fraudulent ballot? They're not citizens (yet somehow registered), or voting twice, or are otherwise disqualified yet they're casting a ballot? One in every hundred? How does the chief data officer for one of the two major parties say this publicly and not get challenged on it, forcefully, by just about anyone that cares about the voter integrity issue?

Factuallyâinstead of Republican fantasizingâin-person voter fraud constitutes less than 0.0002% of all votes cast over the last 20 years.
Once again, a Republican lies and the media doesnât call him on it.

âKobach said his office had identified 100 cases of voter fraud in the 2014 general election cycle alone. ⌠Kobachâs crusade against voter fraud has been underwhelming. In 2013 he reviewed 84 million votes in 22 states but only came up with 14 examples of alleged voter fraud that were referred for prosecution, or a tiny 0.00000017 percent of the 84 million votes.â
That new math in Kansas must be a bitch⌠in '13 found 14 out of 84,000,000 cases but in Kansas alone in '14 found 100 cases. Either math skills need work or something in the water has made Kansas a hot bed in âvoter fraudâ dreams. Do they happen to do any fracking in Kansas?

Poor Kansas; too small to be a nation; too large to be an insane asylum. (move over S. Carolina)

The judicial system, even in Kansas, is already âempoweredâ to deal with this kind of thing. Any judge can throw out his lawsuits as frivolous. And he can be charged with contempt of court.
and as it has been said ⌠they will come carrying a flag and a bible . Good match for the brown uniforms and Jackboots

Insane. Apparently, they heard Cruz was currently holding the top spot on the to-be-compared-to-Joe-McCarthy list and found that to be unacceptable.

He can also be disbarred and face civil suits from wrongfully and maliciously prosecuted individuals.
The best part of this though? Does anyone else find themselves eagerly anticipating his refusal to exercise his new godlike prosecutorial powers against avowed Republican voters? I certainly do. These motherfuckers have yet to find a rope they wonât gleefully tie around their necks.

I wonder if Brownback will be able to prevent his Sec.of State from being vulnerable to unlawful prosecution laws?
