Comparing Sec. of State candidate Khris Kobach to former Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline is pretty apt, as this Eagle editorial does.
Kline's obession was abortion and he seemed to devote his office and time to battling it, even though the law permits it.
Kobach seems unnaturally focused on one issue, immigration, and wants to turn the Sec. of State's office into a law enforcement office to crack down on voter fraud.
Except where is the evidence of voter fraud? What he really wants to do go after illegal immigrants from an office that isn't designed for that. He was involved in writing Arizon's new law targeting illegal residents.
He's trying to cast voter fraud as protecting civil rights, except he's not trying to protect anybody's civil right, he's trying to claim some people don't have that right but are getting it.
Maybe there's evidence of serious voter fraud in Kansas, including by illegal immigrants, that I'm not aware of. I'm sure viewers will let me know ...

Gosh wasn't it back when Bush beat Gore the Democrats were screaming voter fraud. Now...someone wants to crack down on illegal immigration which I'm sure includes a small amt of voter fraud and the democrats don't like it. Can't have it both ways.
I am all for doing whatever it takes to eliminate voter fraud AND illegal immigration. I hope he succeeds. And BRAVO to him for being a part of Arizona's Immigration law. If the Government won't do what they are required to do, then maybe the states need to step up and do it for them.
