WICHITA, Kan. (AP) An American Civil Liberties Union survey has found that county-level election officials in Kansas reject the notion that voter fraud is either a major or minor concern.
The report released Friday contradicts claims of widespread voter fraud by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Election officials in 85 of the states 105 counties partially or completed responded. Sixty-six of them said voter fraud was not a problem at all. None deemed it a significant problem.
The ACLU says the report examined whether county election policies are reducing voter turnout and hurting democracy in Kansas.
It found voter turnout was higher in counties offering better early voting. The report also detected a relationship between the number of voters assigned to a polling site and the voter turnout rate.
