The vice chair of President Donald Trump’s shady “election integrity” commission has added his own state to the growing list of states that will not fully comply with the commission’s requests for sensitive voter information.

That’s right: Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach will not hand over information to his own commission.

“In Kansas, the Social Security number is not publicly available. … Every state receives the same letter but we’re not asking for it if it’s not publicly available,” Kobach told the Kansas City Star Friday. It was a change in stance from Thursday, the paper reported, when Kobach said Kansas would provide all requested information to the commission.

Kobach added Friday, hedging somewhat: “If the commission decides that they would like to receive Social Security numbers to a secure site in order to remove false positives, then we would have to double check and make sure Kansas law permits.”

1. asshole

2. Kobach is everything that is wrong with this country

Pure scum....

8. ITA. The man is diabolical. Sam Brownback is already, arguably, the worst governor

in the country (although, I admit the competition is fierce). But Kobach is even worse than Brownback. And that is really saying something.

3. Can't stand this guy. And he's trying to inflict his bullshit on the rest of the country.

Glad states are telling him to blow it out his ass.

4. We have the worst people in the world in this administration.

The worst.

[Sneederbunk]

5. You just know he is going to be elected governor. What's the matter with Kansas?

[Rebl2]

6. OH PLEASE, PLEASE

Noooooooooooo! Haven't they been subjected to enough bad governance!

[StevieM]

7. I am even more scared that he will ultimately be the dictator of America.

He seems like he would be interested in the job.

9. Just heard an interview of him on NPR

This guy makes it all sound so innocent. The commission is just asking for "publicly available" information he says. He completely failed to answer what how the information was going to be used for.

This guy is good.
