Should the state turn over election documents to investigate fraud
The Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has campaigned on rooting out voter fraud but his efforts have disenfranchised about 17,000 eligible voters and found no rampant fraud. A Wichita statistician Beth Clarkson identified significant voting pattern anomalies tied to precinct size and demanded access to paper tapes from electronic machines, which Kobach declined. Clarkson’s court actions seek the hard-copy evidence to test the integrity of the system, arguing that the pattern warrants explanation and that a nonpoliticized office should welcome scrutiny to ensure accuracy and legitimacy of future elections.
