Here's a link to an op-ed on this:

http://www.kansascity.com/opinion/editorials/article28362433.html

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."

**********************************************

I think the writer should have said, "What Kobach calls voter fraud," and pointed out how miniscule voter fraud is, but I'm glad to see any attention in the media about this outrageous situation.

edited to correct that this is an op-ed, not an AP article
