    Kobach Touts Success of Kansas Photo ID Law

    TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says fewer than expected registered voters cast provisional ballots in the Nov. 6 general election in response to the new state photo identification law.

    The law requires voters to show a valid photo identification in order to receive a ballot and cast their vote. This was the first general election to require such proof of identity since the law was enacted in 2011.

    Kobach says only 717 provisional ballots were cast because of photo ID issues out of the more than 1.11 million votes cast. That equates to about 0.6 percent of all ballots cast.

    The Republican says voters are becoming more familiar with the law and its requirements, and the relatively few problems with photo identification are evidence of that.
