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 state’s 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.”
Cowley County Clerk Karen Madison said she does not recall receiving the survey, but indicated that voter fraud hasn’t been a problem in Cowley County.
She said there are a few instances of people attempting to vote twice.
“But honestly those seem to be what I would call memory mishaps,” Madison said. “An older voter forgets they voted by mail and tries to vote in person.” Madison added, “we have not had questionable voter registration drives or other instances that would lead me to believe fraud is occurring in Cowley County.”
