Judge slams sleazy Kris Kobach for ‘patently misleading court’ – Yael on the Trail

Interesting statement from Yael - "Kobach is the cocky guy who thinks he’s such a great lawyer that he should be allowed to pursue people who try to illegally vote in Kansas. Trouble is, the Republican secretary of state has successfully prosecuted about 10 people in two years with that power. He’s been a big fraud on voter fraud." But how does this make Kobach a fraud on voter fraud?

What is more interesting to me is the supposed basis of the ACLU's attestations - "The judgment Friday was yet another victory for the American Civil Liberties Union in its longstanding battle with Kobach over the state’s overly restrictive voting laws. The ACLU has been fighting to make sure people qualified to vote actually get to do so; Kobach has tried to suppress the vote at several junctures." Since my wife is an immigrant and a Naturalized US Citizen, I have a somewhat intimate knowledge of this process, and I do not see how the Kansas voting laws are overly restrictive nor has anyone satisfactorily explained how they (the KS voting laws) are overly restrictive to me. Next, my wife had no problems registering to vote in Kansas after gaining her US citizenship (in Wichita), nor when she went to renew her license along with updating her voter registration. Since then she has had no issue with being able to vote in an local, state, or federal elections.

The only issue even closely related to the issue of voter registration that has ever occurred with my wife is when she was racially profiled by the Wichita Police Department, stopped and told that she was in the wrong neighborhood, when she was only 3 blocks from our house. This was during a period of time that the WPD was denying that they were even doing racial profiling, shortly after they slowed down on that front.

According to the article, the court fined him for speaking like Bill Clinton.
