July 22, 2015 Op-Ed -- Kris Kobach should help count the votes accurately in Kansas

"Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach needs to provide any help he can in making sure votes have been accurately recorded in Sedgwick County."

From the link:
"Wichita State University mathematician and statistician Beth Clarkson has raised questions about whether Kansas voting machines are accurately counting some votes in Sedgwick County. Understandably, she wants tests conducted to see if the odd election returns she has seen have been, in fact, truly reported.

Sedgwick County election officials haven’t released paper records needed to do recounts. Clarkson is in court now, trying to get the information.

Kobach’s office is part of that lawsuit. As the state’s chief elections official, he should work to help resolve the issue in favor of openness and transparency. His reluctance to strongly embrace that approach makes him look too selective regarding concerns over voter fraud."

and included the statistics on how miniscule actual voter fraud is.

Anyway, I'm just glad this issue is coming back to life in Kansas re: whether the Nov. 2014 election was tampered with.
Beth Clarkson is lawyering up, so stay tuned.
