Kobach Touts Success of Kansas Voter ID Law in General Election



“Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says fewer than expected registered voters cast provisional ballots in the Nov. 6 general election in response to the new state photo identification law… only 717 provisional ballots were cast because of photo ID issues.*”


 


Next up on the agenda:  “Kobach said the bigger issue that needs to be addressed was the counties where there are more registered voters than eligible voting-age population.”

*The AP story also states that the referenced 717 provisional ballots represent .6 percent of the 1.15 million votes cast.  It’s unclear whether this mistake is attributable to Kobach or the AP reporter, but the correct figure is .06 percent.
