To the editor:

On receiving the American Civil Liberties Union letter demanding that he do something about the one-third of Kansans who have tried to register to vote under his new regime and have yet to have their registrations approved, Secretary of State Kris Kobach tried to duck the issue by refusing to answer questions from the press and accusing the ACLU of being a left-wing organization (Journal-World, Aug. 14).   

In hopes that this elected  officer will soon respond to questions from constituents, I have two:  1)  How can you justify denying the most precious right in a democracy to so many of my fellow Kansans when independent bodies assure us that voter fraud is rarer than confirmed UFO sightings? and, 2) when exactly did it become “left-wing” to fight for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
