Kobach's Office Puts Out Spanish Voter Guide With Wrong Registration Deadline

(Not posted in GDP as their caucus was last month)

When your party's ideas as THIS bad, you have no option but to try to keep people from voting.

The Spanish-language voter guides from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's office include two errors about registering to vote in the state, while the English guides do not include the same errors.

The Spanish-language guides said that voters could register up to 15 days before the election, while the English version included the correct deadline, 21 days before the election, as the Daily Kos flagged last week. And while the English guides told voters they could use their passport as a photo ID, the guides in Spanish did not include a passport in the list.

Kobach is notorious for his push to enact strict voter ID laws in the state, impose other voting restrictions, and pursue criminal prosecutions of alleged voting fraud. Kansas faces several challenges to its law requiring proof of citizenship for residents to register to vote.

the Dean of RW nasty illegal maneuvers intended to block Democratic voters. Kobach, a protege of Asscroft was first heard from when he dreamed up the tactic of having municipalities try to run immigrants off by passing laws making it illegal to rent to an illegal immigrant, or provide water or electricity to him, etc. (Hazleton, PA was the first). When that got struck down this bastard helped State write anti immigran voting laws, such as having to register for State elections using different (i.e. more restrictive) documents than voting in the Federal election. This is in the courts right now. Then this slimy little SOB helped get a totally unqualfied RW nosepicker appointed to the Federal Election Commission where, against all rules he singlehandedly pushed through another hurdle to potential voters. I wish this slimy little POS would just crawl back under the rock he crawled out from.
