Brownback and Kansas Republicans have a cure for the court system if they rule against them:

No sane person can look at the stats and still think voter fraud is a problem. Clearly they have a different definition of voter fraud than most people - to them, anyone who doesnāt vote for a Republican must be committing fraud.

āThe bill also would upgrade penalties for several voting offenses to felonies from misdemeanorsā¦ā
In Kansas, ex-felons can apply to get back their voting rights after serving their sentences.
I expect the Kansas legislature to change this to permanent loss of voting rights.
That should work quite nicelyā¦

He seems to have a lot of time on his hands. Why donāt they have him set up a voter registration booth outside the local Big Y and register voters. This way he could scrutinize each and every person before allowing them to vote in the ānot-so-greatā state of Kansas.
Actually many RWNJs who are all about voter fraud actually do believe this and have said so publicly. That no one would actually reasonably decide to vote for liberals and it must be voter fraud.
Interesting article. Fucked up state. I donāt think I can even begin to express how infuriating those shenanigans are.

Perhaps because they define voter fraud as voting while being a Democrat, while being black or brown, or not belonging to the right church?

Can you spell āfoolās errandā? Because even if Kobach is given prosecutorial powers, how likely is it that he will ever get a conviction? Iād say the chances are āslimā and ānone.ā Heās a fraud, and every sane person knows it. Too bad the crazy people have taken over the government of the State of Kansas. Please, come back to reality soon.
A typing error, I guess! That should have been āpersecuteā not āprosecute.ā
Hope Iām not stepping on someoneās earlier post, but Kobach may be in that unique position of himself being his own biggest violator, which may be the reason heās so loud about the trivia he hopes will cover his much more pernicious tracksā¦
Here, as Paul Harvey might have put it, is the rest of the story:
Kobachās trolling around for clerical issues he can turn into violations, even as the question looms like a Sword of Damocles over his head, were he and Brownback elected illegally?
The big revelation in all this is that the patterns this math expert has identified were first applied against tea party Republican primary opponents, but then quite unexpectedly, the assumed reliability of Kansas conservatives took a nosedive when so many even on the right reacted negatively to the extreme tax-cutting overreach, a reaction that reached a fever pitch right at election time and threatened three of the most reliable Kansans, Roberts, Brownback and Kobach.
The team that the Republicans sent in from DC to clean up that mess is also susected on many fronts of indulging in the very shenanigans this math sleuth has fingered in her numbers. But the fact that they dipped into their desperation well for a STATE and NATIONAL election puts this way in the DOJ court, and should require a special prosecutor at the state level to investigate the facts, someone like Steve SIx who isnāt going to join in the deceptionā¦
If these accusations are true, and no one can say they are not if Kobach wonāt give up the stats, it represents one of the foulest defilements of democracy in the modern era.
If the house of cards that is hinted at by these mathematical revelations has to fall, will this be the card to down them all?
No doubt, when the truth starts trickling down, and if the real authorities demand more of it, the guilty will call it political and cry foul and demand Congress intervene, but every honest citizen needs to admit, if the system can be gamed so easily by ANYONE, no matter how they represent your own ideology, it is a farce, and we should stop defending ourselves as the crucible of freedom and democracy, because it is just a lie.
If they cheated, isnāt this really something for the honest, patriot-hearted state and federal law enforcement to deal with? If not, then there is no authority remaining with the power to defy their usurpation of democratic power, just fearful and complicit fellows dwelling in a profane self-deceptionā¦

Voter fraud must be rampant in Kansas. Thereās no other way to explain how Brownback and Kobach got elected.

Yup.
Davis was up right before the election and then Brownback won by 4% IIRC. I have no doubt these bastards would pull some illegal shit to stay in power.
hey, whatever it takes to make govāt smaller.

Looking forward for Kobach to go the way of the previous KS AG.
This story just pisses me off to no end. Its infuriating. One more reason Iām determined to go for any Democratic candidate over a Republican when it comes to my vote. These Republicans are corrupt, lying, pieces of shit when it comes to democracy. Theyāve convinced themselves that its always OK to 'Cheat āem if they canāt Beat āemā and Iām sick of watching them destroy this country and the long fought battle for votersā rights, one brick at a time.
Oh, I donāt know, any state that moves people through the education system teaching them Jesus rode a dinosaur and the Earth is 6000 years old is spitting out some pretty stupid, easily bamboozled voters.
