The Joplin Globe reports. “There were 251 votes statewide in Kansas in the Aug. 6 primary that weren’t counted because the voters didn’t present the proper photo identification under the new voter ID law. They probably weren’t trying to commit voter impersonation fraud, sources, including Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, say. Nor is it likely they were disenfranchised, the same sources say. Whether others who didn’t bother to go to the polls because of the hurdles created by the law were disenfranchised by it remains a source of heated disagreement.”
