Groundbreaking Voter Photo ID Law

Kansas passes groundbreaking voter photo ID law:
Bill: HB 2067


Introduced by nearly 50 sponsors and signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback on April 18, 2011, the Kansas Secure and Fair Elections Act requires voters to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote and to show photo ID at the polls.

Also: “Brownback signs voter ID bill into lawâ€

THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL
Gov. Sam Brownback made a fixture of Kansas politics Monday requirements voters present proof of citizenship and photograph affirmation of their identity as the price of participating in elections.

The measures were long championed by conservatives who expressed apprehension that unauthorized voters were distorting elections through fraudulent means. The rules could spark a legal challenge from voters who feel disenfranchised by the new hurdles to electoral participation.

"I think these are reasonable steps to protect the rights of our citizens," Brownback said at the Statehouse.

Brownback long ago endorsed the voter ID and citizenship provisions incorporated into House Bill 2067.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach is credited with raising profile of the issue during his successful campaign in 2010. He said the Kansas legislation uniquely combined picture IDs for in-person voting, photo and signature security protections for advance balloting and proof of citizenship.

"No other state in the union does as much to secure the integrity of the voting process," Kobach said. "If you want the Cadillac of voter security, the Kansas model is the way to go."

The photo ID requirement will take effect Jan. 1.

Starting in 2013, anyone registering to vote for the first time in Kansas will have to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, though a Kansas driver's license could suffice for many.

Election officials will have to verify the signatures of prospective voters before sending them a ballot by mail.

Critics of the bill said the result will be lower turnout and fewer people registered to vote.

Kevin Myles, president of the Kansas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said minority and poor voters would be the most likely to be disenfranchised.

Myles said the NAACP hasn't ruled out an eventual court challenge.

However, Brownback and Kobach said the new law would not diminish legal participation in Kansas elections.

The statute requires free photo ID cards to be issued to any Kansan who qualifies and signs an affidavit vowing they can't obtain other forms of acceptable identification.

Brownback said the state should conduct an aggressive voter education program to inform Kansans of the changes.

Without Proof: The Unpersuasive Case Against Voter Identification

By Hans von Spakovsky and Alex Ingram
August 24, 2011

Abstract: Citizens Without Proof, a report on voter identification requirements produced by the Brennan Center at New York University’s School of Law, is both dubious in its methodology and results and suspect in its sweeping conclusions. By eschewing many of the traditional scientific methods of data collection and analysis, the authors of the Brennan Center study appear to have pursued results that advance a particular political agenda rather than the truth about voter identification. Given that Citizens Without Proof is the study most frequently cited by opponents of voter identification requirements, its shortcomings cannot simply be dismissed—a tempting solution, given the study’s dubious methodology. Rather, the conclusions drawn by the Brennan Center must be contrasted with other, legitimate studies—a process that will reveal the truth about voter identification requirements.


The primary argument against voter identification requirements—that many Americans lack proper identification and would therefore be prevented from voting—is not supported by credible studies of voter turnout rates. In fact, the study most frequently cited by opponents of voter identification requirements—Citizens Without Proof, a report produced by the Brennan Center at New York University’s School of Law[1]—is both dubious in its methodology and results and suspect in its sweeping conclusions.

By eschewing many of the traditional scientific methods of data collection and analysis, the authors of the Brennan Center study appear to have pursued results that advance a particular political agenda rather than the truth about voter identification. Such speculation is further fueled by the fact that legitimate studies of voter turnout rates in states with identification requirements demonstrate that such laws do not disenfranchise voters; indeed, Americans overwhelmingly support such requirements that increase the reliability and trustworthiness of our election system.[2]

Voter fraud, Arizona, Colorado, Maricopa County GOP website, Mi Familia Vota, SEIU organization

From Gateway Pundit October 24, 2010.

“On Friday it was reported that the Yuma Recorder’s office was checking the 3,000 last minute voter registration forms turned in by the far left Mi Familia Vota organization. The recorder’s office found that already more than 65% of the registrations were invalid due to the registrant not being a citizen, wrong/invalid address, false signature, etc.
Mi Familia Vota is a SEIU sub-organization. It is just as “non-partisanâ€

Researchers Hack Voting Machine for $26
By Matt Liebowitz
Published September 30, 2011
| TechMediaNetwork

Campaigning for the 2012 presidential race has already begun, but what the candidates don't know is that come election day, hackers could be the ones whose votes have the biggest impact.
Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have developed a hack that, for about $26 and an 8th-grade science education, can remotely manipulate the electronic voting machines used by millions of voters all across the U.S.
The researchers, Salon reported, performed their proof-of-concept hack on a Diebold Accuvote TS electronic voting machine, a type of touchscreen Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting system that is widely used for government elections.
(Diebold's voting-machine business is now owned by the Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, whose e-voting machines are used in about 22 states.)
In a video, Roger Johnston and Jon Warner from Argonne National Laboratory's Vulnerability Assessment Team demonstrate three different ways an attacker could tamper with, and remotely take full control, of the e-voting machine simply by attaching what they call a piece of "alien electronics" into the machine's circuit board.

The electronic hacking tool consists of a $1.29 microprocessor and a circuit board that costs about $8. Together with the $15 remote control, which enabled the researchers to modify votes from up to a half-mile away, the whole hack runs about $26.
Two of the takeovers show the researchers controlling the buttons on the keypad despite what the "real" voter enters. But in what Warner called "probably the most relevant attack for vote tampering," the researchers were able to blank the e-voting machine's screen for a split-second after the "vote now" button was pressed. While the screen went dark, they remotely entered their own numbers into the DRE's keypad.
Johnston explained in the video: "When the voter hits the 'vote now' button to register his votes, we can blank the screen and then go back and vote differently and the voter will be unaware that this has happened."
Johnston and Warner say that the ease with which this type of remote hack could be deployed highlights the need for e-voting machines to be designed better, with not just cybersecurity, but physical security in mind.
"Spend an extra four bucks and get a better lock," Johnston said. "You don't have to have state-of-the-art security, but you can do some things were it takes at least a little bit of skill to get in."
