Kobach finds thousands of voter fraud cases...in 1855.

Seriously, that is the excuse he's using to jusitify his voter-suppression drive.

Kobach Uncovers Massive Voter Fraud…In 1855

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 10/24/2013 12:06 pm

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been getting absolutely creamed by the state press for his proposal to create a two-tiered voting system if his lawsuit against the federal government to make voter registration more difficult fails.

Now, he’s fighting back.

In an op-ed published on the website of KSAL this week, Kobach claims that his efforts to require a “proof of citizenship” document to register to vote – which has put the registration of 17,000 Kansans into limbo and instigated the two-tier plan —is necessary because of “rampant voter fraud”… in Kansas’ first territorial election in 1855.

Just wonder how to send them back...kind of like toss them off their own ship of fools into the dark waters of reality. Speaking metaphorically, of course.

Both pro- and anti-slavery factions flooded the territory hoping to influence whether Kansas would be slave or free. Of course there was a lot of fraud. There were also a lot of gunfights and lynchings.

Is he going to use those as an excuse for vote suppression, too?
