@earl-of-trumps saidYou, apparently, didn't read the link.
Jim, listen to the PEOPLE. see if they complain about voter supression.
What you will find is - there are no PEOPLE claiming foul. it is only a construct of the Democrat Party and DNC.
ppssssssssssssssssttt... they are trying to cheat again. and their bills don't have the support to pass

Voter fraud is virtually nonexistent in Kansas. Legislators should instead focus on improving lives.

As the 2022 legislative session kicks off this week all eyes are on Topeka. It’s an election year and the issues tackled this session will have a huge impact on the midterm results.
Last session, the Legislature followed several other Republican-led legislatures across the country in passing restrictive voting laws. Most notable of these laws included restricting voter registration drives and limiting the number of ballots an individual can bring to the polls on behalf of someone else.
GOP lawmakers seem poised to once again take up legislation that would make it harder for Kansans to vote. Secretary of State Scott Schwab has also said he’ll once again be pushing bills that create extra hurdles, including shortening the period of time county election officers have to wait before removing inactive voters from the voter rolls.
Such laws have been introduced and passed in the name of “election integrity.”
Of course, election integrity is important. It’s essential to democracy. However, extensive research shows that election fraud is extremely rare — 0.0003%, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
Most issues reported as voter fraud are actually voter or administrative error. Voter impersonation is virtually nonexistent and there is no evidence of large numbers of people voting illegally.

@earl-of-trumps saidWould you care to explain the rationale of gerrymandering and redistricting.

As a Canadian, I may not have a complete understanding of those terms.
As a sidenote, in my 4+ decades of voter eligibility in Canada, I do not recall any election ever where I have had to travel more than a mile to vote.
Just wondering..........

I had 3 voting locations within 1 km of me.
Me being in the city obviously but the American way does sound confusing.

@jimm619 saidKansas has gone Democrat in a presidential election only once since 1936 and in recent times both their senators are always Republicans. You'd have to cheat in a very big way to change Kansas. Why in the world would anyone bother to steal a few thousand votes there?
Addressing a problem where none
exists is actually just voter suppression.
https://news.yahoo.com/voter-fraud-virtually-nonexistent-kansas-075659181.html
Consider that in 1950 the Boston Red Sox beat St. Louis 29-4. One may argue that MLB doesn't need any rules against stealing signs because no one bothered to steal any sign in games that aren't close. But any sport needs to have rules and a way to enforce them as if the game is going to be close.
A mechanism needs to be put in place to enforce rules in close political contests too. The fact that people are kind of apathetic about the small things in blowouts is not a reason to not be prepared to enforce rules.
Every state should setup their voting laws as if they were going to be like Florida in 2000. When your state is a few months before an election that has suddenly become very close, it's too late to fix things then.
Why not set up voting laws that can be enforced and give even the losing side confidence they haven't been cheated even in a close race?

@contenchess saidTopeka paper says ''right bias.''
@jimm619
So...use right leaning sites to make your points then we can't complain about the source like yall do. 😉
Anyway, as I've said many times,
'good men may differ,' but I don't usually
complain about legitimate news sources,
really just about the fake ones that
Metal Brain is so fond of.
Don't confuse YAHOO NEWS, with RUMBLE.
It also noted YAHOO was, 'HIGH in FACTUAL CONTENT,'....Right/??
