To the editor:

The past national election cycle of 2010 saw an overwhelming number of Republican governors voted into power.

In all instances, these governors have joined forces to decrease the number of Democrats voting in future elections. Gov. Sam Brownback and his secretary of state, Kris Kobach, have used a false scare of voter fraud to greatly reduce the number of future Democratic voters going to the polls in state and national elections. They know that many older people or foreign-born citizens do not have proper identification to be able to vote in future elections. The large new Hispanic population is prone to vote Democratic, but they do not go to the polls in large numbers for minor reasons.

This voter reduction strategy is used by all Republican governors to reduce the probable impact of this large potential voter block. It seems logical that all Democratic officials in every state would set up a definite system to be able to assist these doubtful voters to be equipped to have the papers, and desire, to be well prepared to vote.

We are now living in a country where 1 or 2 percent of the population owns a major share of the national wealth and are controlling elections. A new direction seems to be possible if Democrats and liberals would get organized to get out the vote in relation to their voting numbers potential.
