It warns against libertarian overreach and recalls S and L scandals. It cites Madison on human limits.

Kobach’s voter fraud case highlights limited impact in Kansas
Peruvian national Victor David Garcia Bebek pleaded guilty in Sedgwick County to voting in three elections, the eighth prosecution Kobach has secured under the SAFE Act. Bebek, now a citizen, receives three years probation and a $5,000 fine. The piece argues the law purged over 30,000 but uncovered few fraud cases, suggesting restrictive ballots may have dampened Trump’s margins and shifted turnout, with broader political backlash.
