Rep. John Carmichael, D-Wichita, says the Election Protection program will make the voting process as smooth as possible and will have more volunteers and attorneys present at voting place than ever before.
Carmichael went on to say the Secretary of State’s Kris Kobach’s recent battle over Kansas voter registration laws has caused Kansans to lose faith in the election process and prompted the Democratic party to take action.
“We’ve never been in a situation where our Chief Election Officer was subject to multiple court orders and as you know last Friday, barely avoided being held contempt of court and so we are trying to reassure folks about the integrity of the electoral process,” said Carmichael.
