Kobach is prosecuting this confused senior with four counts of felony voter fraud

On Thursday, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) announced he was bringing criminal charges against two people for voting illegally in 2016 — Fullmer and 20-year-old Bailey Ann McCaughey, who is also accused of voting in both Kansas and Colorado. The prosecutions bring the total number of people Kobach has charged with voter fraud to 15. So far, the cases have resulted in nine convictions or plea deals totaling $30,000 in fines, and one dismissal. Many of the prosecuted citizens have, like Fullmer, been confused seniors.

i have really no sympathy for the guy though since he also said this.

Fullmer said he agrees that states should require voter ID, and he has no problem with Republican politicians passing laws they claim will prevent voter fraud. “I don’t think people should vote unless they contribute to society,” he said, laughing.

While he has heard talk on the news of “voter fraud,” he said he always assumed that term referred to “politicians getting low-lifes to travel around the city and vote multiple times.”

this guy really doesn't understand what democracy is.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel ever-so-much-more confident in our electoral process already.

Yeah....

“I don’t think people should vote unless they contribute to society,” he said, laughing.

I read a book about that years ago... no thanks.

Everyone contributing to this thread probably knows this, but it was never about "protecting the sanctity of the ballot box" or anything like that. It was about creating a dubious rationale for voting practices that favor Republicans. They seem to think they can't win honestly, so they're turning to dirty tricks in order to keep their stranglehold on power.
