Letter: Don’t let fake voters vote

As a part of an inquiry into alleged voter fraud, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach requested voter data from all 50 states. Apparently, he is getting a lot of resistance from state governors and secretaries, who don’t believe in any federal intervention on how they conduct their elections. Rest assured, whatever information he obtains, he will use it to support his predetermined conclusion.

I, for one, appreciate Kris Kobach’s efforts. I have just seen what kind of a government we get when fake voters vote. While we can’t exclude voters using IQ or sanity tests, maybe we can fingerprint or microchip genuine U.S. voters and have pollsters scan this information at the polls prior to allowing them to vote.

Then again, maybe we should ask the Russians what they do to ensure their voters’ legitimacy. I am sure they would be more than willing to assist us.
