True....he is innocent until proven otherwise.  However, you should see Kris Kobach's record on convictions:

-8 of the 9 convicted were US citizens.
-Most were registered Republicans.
-8 of the 9 were white, non-Hispanic.
-The non-citizen, Hispanic (who is now a citizen) was from Peru, not Mexico.....and, while not a US citizen, was in the country legally.
-None were accused of or convicted of voting multiple times in Kansas.  The non-citizen merely voted when he shouldn't have been able to, and the rest generally appear to be honest mistakes in thinking they could vote once each in Kansas and a bordering state (in which they had either moved from/to, or had a 2nd house).

In other words, none of them were exactly packing the ballot boxes with multiple votes for either Obama or Clinton.....and nor were any of them who the GOP generally assumes is committing the voter fraud (minorities and illegals that only vote for Democrats).

That's why people have made the comments they have made.
