Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is leading a multi-state effort to clean up voter registration rolls and prevent double voting across state lines. The Interstate Cross Check Project, or Kansas Project, includes a database shared with 14 other states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Tennessee, with six more states considering joining. “Double voting is a real common form of voter fraud. But it’s easy to discover and to prosecute. You have a rock-solid legal case that the crime was committed.” The Washington Times also reports that Kansas has the most comprehensive voting integrity laws in the nation. “Voters must show a valid photo ID at the polls and a verified signature and photo ID when registering for absentee ballots. A third requirement – proof of U.S. citizenship – will not be enforced until January 2013.” Kobach responds to suggestions that voter ID laws “suppress” minority voters: “I think that’s a ludicrous charge. It’s so patently absurd to argue that requiring a photo ID in order to vote is racist… that a person’s skin color affects his ability to go down to an office and get a free photo ID.”
