This thread deals with a Kansas law where Kobach was requiring Kansas voters to show birth certificates in order to register to vote. Thousands of voters were not being allowed to vote and so the ACLU sued and won. This thread deals with voters in the real world who want to vote but do not have copies of their passports or birth certificates handy. The GOP used a similar tactic in Texas where to get the "free" id that allowed a person to vote, one had to pay for a birth certificate. The GOP want to make it hard for people in the real world to vote and know that poor persons are less likely to have birth certificates and are less likely to be able to pay for birth certificates.
A super delegate named Marc Veasey sued and got this law largely gutted. Even with a favorable court ruling, the GOP tried to keep people from voting with stunts as not telling voters about the new ruling. the signs in Bexas and several other counties used the old signs that did not tell voters that they could vote with alternative ids. We got this fixed during the early voting period including getting the local press to cover the fact that the wrong information had been given to voters. In Harris County, the poll greeters in gop controlled voting sites told voters to go away if they did not have the right ID. We got this process stopped.
I am sorry that your feelings were hurt by super delegates who were mean to your chosen candidate. Your hurt feelings are meaningless when compared to real voter suppression that is the subject of this thread. Voters in Kansas were being prevented from voting in the real world.
This trial is exposing the lies about the GOP claims of voter fraud. The press is covering this trial and people are seeing that Kobach is a liar and a fraud. The Slate article cited on this thread indicates that Kobach's attempt to run for governor may be adversely affected by his failure to show voter fraud. This is important in the real world and out weights your hurt feelings.
