TOPEKA Kansas City Star (May 3, 2017) Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach announced another voter fraud conviction Wednesday, this time in the case of a man who he said voted in both Kansas and Texas.
The most recent voter fraud conviction is the ninth Kobach has obtained since he was given the power to prosecute voter fraud, according to a release from his office.
“This conviction demonstrates once again how prevalent the crime of double voting is,” Kobach said in a statement. “In Kansas, we are making it clear that people who willfully vote twice will be prosecuted.”
Kobach’s announcement said that Preston Glen Christensen pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of voting without being qualified.
He will have to pay a $1,000 fine and court costs as a result.
