There's another issue that has rarely been analyzed. The National Association of Secretaries of State had its Summer conference in Anchorage in 2013.  Kansas SOS Kris Kobach, who is the Heritage Foundation's and the right wing's point man on disenfranchisement of those most likely to vote Democrat, usually took his wife and kids to those conferences, in venues such as West Virginia and Puerto Rico.

Kobach was the author of Arizona's SB 1070, "Breathing while Brown" act, and similar legislation as far away as Alabama. He regularly howls "voter fraud," when in fact, only 31 cases of fraudulent ballots have been discovered, of the last billion cast in the U.S.

Very mysteriously, in 2013, he traveled alone and "disappeared" for an extra few days leaving no record of what he was up to for that time. Was he cooking up more ways to disenfranchise young people, minorities, students, even women? Maybe the reason was less sinister: he might just have had some cutie lined up to party with.
