The Man Behind Trump’s Voter-Fraud Obsession

I doubt I will vote for Kobach and I'm against the waste of tax payers dollars on this goose hunt trying to find voter fraud, but I do think we should require ID for voting, but not at the state level. The US needs a national ID card and that should be used for voting. As it is not much proves citizenship. Non citizens, legal or not, can get drivers licenses, SSN's, and could have birth certificates. Passports are about the only thing to prove US citizenship.

Kansas needs to focus on job growth and I don't believe Kobach can deliver on that. We won't have to worry about illegal immigrants if there are no jobs. E-verify is a joke and nearly unenforceable, there is already a $50,000 fine for each illegal employee, if that's not enough incentive, I don't know what is.

If the Democrats nominate Josh Svaty, I may vote for him, but I doubt I would vote for any of their other potential candidates. Jim Barnett may be a good choice too, but I don't see him beating Kobach in the primary. If Barnett can connect Kobach to Brownback, he may have a chance.

Kobach won't do anything positive for the state. He only wants to be governor so he can reinstate Brownbacks tax cuts (yes, he is campaigning on that issue!), and so he can divert more Kansas taxpayer money into his pointless witch hunts. I only call them witch hunts because the amount of money spent does not justify the next to non-existent outcome. If there was clear evidence The state did have widespread voting fraud issues, then I wouldn't mind, but when the evidence suggests that that fraud helped Brownback win and he won't let anyone near the data, then I can't support him.

Kansas needs to do something....anything to keep the college graduates. Look up the net migration rates, and you will see that Kansas is hemorrhaging people; one of the worst states in this regard. How about seeing what Colorado has been doing right. They've had to issue refunds they generate so much revenue. But keep pandering to these lowest common denominator constituents who believe that every minority group is out to get them, and you'll see how far that gets our state.

How about sourcing your claims? It would really help the discussion.

I love it, Kobach is finally called out and put in his proper place for being in contempt.
Here's an idea Kobach, don't ever serve in government again.

Even though this is just one of the silly games that you play with people when you have no actual response or anything useful to offer, I will pay along for now.
