Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s campaign to gather voter information on behalf of the President is nothing more than a guise for laying the foundation for more voter suppression across the nation.

Targeted voter suppression in Missouri started in June as the state has made voting more expensive and less accessible to hundreds of thousands of its own citizens.

The ACLU of Missouri will make a Sunshine Law request to Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft to ensure that the office maintains the integrity of public records and does not give any Missourian’s private information over to this administration’s voter suppression campaign.
