Under the worst secretary of state in the nation, rejected voter registrations in Kansas skyrocket
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/11/03/1341345/-Under-the-worst-secretary-of-state-in-the-nation-rejected-voter-registrations-in-Kansas-skyrocketStunning new facts about just how many voters have been disenfranchised under Kansas's Kris Kobach—the worst secretary of state in the nation.
From KCUR:
“This is a big change for Kansas. In 2010, we only rejected .03 percent of voter registration applications,” said Patrick Miller, a University of Kansas assistant political science professor. “Whereas in 2014, we’ve suspended or rejected almost 20 percent. That’s a massive increase.”...
Tomorrow 22,468 people will be denied the right to vote in Kansas, because of five alleged cases of voter fraud. The vast majority of those denied are Democrats and Independents. And that doesn't even count voters like 97-year-old Beth Hiller, who didn't have proper ID while trying to vote in the August primary and was denied a vote after 77-years of voting in Kansas. Kris Kobach's disgusting voter disenfranchisement may be enough to sway several key races, including his own race against Daily Kos-endorsed Jean Schodorf.
If you live in Kansas or know anyone living in Kansas, it's time to GOTV for Jean Schodorf and send Kris Kobach back to private law practice. He won't stop his voter fraud witch hunt, but at least he won't be doing it from the Kansas secretary of state office.
