Meet The People Being Prosecuted For Voter Fraud In Kansas

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a notorious voter suppression architect, is the only election official in the country with prosecutorial power. He secured that authority earlier this year, the latest step in his crusade to go after what he views as rampant voter fraud throughout his state.
Earlier this month, he filed his first criminal charges. The targets: three people he says committed voter fraud in the 2010 election.
Research shows that new voting restrictions enacted by states across the country prevents voters — particularly minorities and younger citizens — from casting ballots. And according to the Brennan Center for Justice, voter fraud is a non-issue and most alleged fraud in elections relates to unintentional mistakes by voters or election administrators.
But Kobach would disagree. To him, the three people he’s decided to prosecute have committed a “serious crime.” One is convicted of a felony, meaning he faces up to seven months in prison. Two others face misdemeanor charges.
he found 3 after 4 years which means nothing from 2011 till now but hey it proves his point voter fraud exist even if it's only fraudulently charging senior citizens if they get away with this travesty of law they will use it to put even more stringent voter suppression in place further stealing the voices of Black Progressive voters.  that is the republicans way of assure that voter fraud stays in their family only.  in case you wonder 3 out of how many voters times 4 years check the link
