Now NPR has taken up the story. The sanctimony of the Kansas Secretary of State is infuriating:

Kobach says there have been 221 incidents of voter fraud since 1997 in Kansas, evidence that he calls “the tip of the iceberg.” About 30 of those cases were investigated and seven people were convicted.

So, in 13 years there have been 221 incidents and 7 of them resulted in convictions. That’s, um, 3 percent of reported incidents. Consider that in the 2010 General Election in Kansas there were 857,000 votes cast; even if those 221 incidents had all occurred in just that one election, the percentage of possible fraudulent votes would have been .0002%. Somehow I don’t think that would have changed the results.
