In reply to the discussion: News from Brownbackistan - Constitutional Crisis [View all]Stevepol
(4,234 posts)20. Kris Kobach controls the voting population and the voting machines.
The past election cycle where the polls and the reported results of the election were pretty much at variance is a pretty good indication that it's not possible right now for a Dem or Indie to get elected.
Somewhere along the line, I believe he discovered or was told that he or somebody else could maliciously program the machines. In addition to that, he's discovered that if you have the power, you can do whatever you want with regard to suppressing the vote and thus preventing some voters from voting, everything from voter ID laws to "cross-check" methods, the latest refinement of the Katherine Harris methods used to limit the election to the proper type of voters. Political crime is pretty much the accepted modus operandi at the moment.
