The problem doesn’t exist; the law just serves to disenfranchise poor, sick, and elderly people.

From NPR’s Morning Edition-April 25 2008

“While bad economic trends sweep most of the nation, there’s one place where things are booming: western Kansas.”

Sebelius added that the bill “seeks to solve a problem of voter fraud which does not exist in our state ”…..

Or until Diebold makes all their voting machines.

Able as,

I am not in Kansas. I’m just repeating what I heard on the News. When Thomas Franks wrote his book, corn was $2 a bushel (now $4) and oil was $60 a bbl.

As I understand it, a lot of smaller, previously marginal small private oil wells are now providing the owners/farmers with a good income.

As for Mega Agri…Frank’s is not doubt correct…but they are making Lots of Money Now.

My only first hand experience with Kansas was flying over it, but Iv’e heard that things have changed since Franks wrote his book.

Governor Sebelius was one of the earliest to see the change coming.She defected from the GOP to the Democrats back before it was fashionable — back before it was a no-brainer. She has proven to be one sharp cookie.

Does anyone else find it weird that the Republicans are so all-fired-up about a movement (voter ID) that essentially puts another layer of government in between a citizen and a common act? One might tink they’d be suspicious of such an infringement… could it be that they’re not really the “small government” crusaders that they claim to be?

Oh Christ Badger, get a life! Thomas Frank surgically demonstrated what was wrong with your state. Mega Agri. has decimated your small towns. Garden City, Great Bend are ghost towns. Only your rapacious drilling for your short term salvation has elevated your state to that of MI or West VA

By the Way….among the states with the BEST Economy..is Kansas. Kansas grows lots of crops, which are at record high prices, and it has lots of smaller gas and oil wells, which are also at…well you know.
Jobs at good wages are plentifull, and safe thriving communities abound. If Ms. Sebalius wants to run for elected office Nationally, she’s in good shape to do it.

Bravo! Hats off to Sebelius, she did the right thing.

I, too, think Ms. Sebelius would be a great choice for VP.

How do we get our opinion to Obama?

Hey Thomas Franks: What’s the matter with Kansas?

Nothing!

Check back in November, though……………

JMOHR Says:

We need to organize a group to go after the lies coming from the right on voter fraud. We have not yet done it and we will be vulnerable to the right’s tactics until we do.

Agreed! The low information voters on the right probably do think there is fraud – because Limbaugh and Beck tells them so. Reality is not a GOP tradition.
