From the Wichita Eagle:
A few dozen Kansans were treated to what was perhaps the most exciting secretary of state debate in state history Tuesday night.
The secretary of state’s race seldom attracts much interest in election years. This year, however, is a little different, thanks to the issue of voter fraud.
Republican Kris Kobach and Democratic incumbent Chris Biggs clashed over that, as well as voter identification law and even how they would spend their spare time if elected.
Kobach argued that election fraud poses a significant threat to the state’s voting system. Kobach said hundreds or even thousands of illegal immigrants could be casting ballots and canceling out the votes of Kansas residents.
“I would say that one case of voter fraud is too many in Kansas,” said Kobach, a constitutional law professor on leave from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Kobach previously worked for the U.S. Department of Justice and led the state’s Republican Party.
