Kansas again - Moving Forward With Plan to Create Two Classes of Voters in Kansas

[RKP5637]

My apologies to DU'ers in Kansas, there are good people in KS. That said, it's hard to not feel KS is a really F'ed up state with the Teabagger regime and Koch Brothers owning and running KS.

Now, the Wichita Eagle reports, Kobach is moving ahead with his plan. The Eagle obtained a July 31 memo from Kobach’s office to county elections officials instructing them to track which voter registration applicants apply using a federal form and which submit an acceptable proof of citizenship.

The Eagle explains that if the plan moves forward, Kansas voters will be sorted into three categories, each with separate voting rights. Those who provide proof of citizenship with either a state or federal form will be allowed to vote in all elections. Those who register with a federal form and don't provide supplemental citizenship proof will be allowed to vote just in federal elections. Meanwhile, Kansans who use the state voter registration form but don’t provide proof of citizenship will remain unable to vote at all.

2. They work so hard to repress so many people in so many ways they are going

to dwindle (hopefully) to a small fringe band of haters, hating everything, including their deranged delusional selves.

3. Quite true.

The electoral math says they can't win a national election ... period. They need a new Ronald Reagan in order to pull off the impossible and beat the electoral math. Let us hope they don't find one.
