Concern raised about double voting in Dodge City polling place lawsuit

The county is raising an issue because they use paper poll books instead of votesafe or electronic poll books. I think that this argument is bogus https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article220942645.html

Caskey’s testimony marked the first time the possibility of voter fraud has been invoked as a possible reason not to open a second polling location in Dodge City.

Kansas law requires each voter to be assigned to a specific polling location, Caskey said. When voters go to the location, their name is checked against a list of voters assigned to that location.

But if a second location is opened containing the same list of registered voters, poll workers will have no way of knowing in real time whether an individual has already voted at the other site....

Johnson dismissed Cox’s complaints about the hurdles to opening a second site.

“This is a problem created and exacerbated by the defendant’s conduct over the past couple months,” Johnson said.

The county clerk is a racist who does not want Latino voters to vote. Kobach wants to suppress these voters

Rachel Maddow did a long piece on this place, where many of the voters are Latinos whose normal community center voting-place is being closed and replaced with A TOTALLY INACCESSIBLE ONE, far out of town!!!

Given his past humiliation in court, and his continued efforts to select who may vote, it's justifiable to take artistic license with his name.
