Three days before the legislative elections in the United States, President Donald Trump announced this Sunday on his social media that in Kansas leftist groups were detected offering economic incentives to citizens to vote for the Democratic Party.
The information was shared by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who sent a letter on Saturday to Bluestem Kansas, a left-leaning nonprofit organization, ordering them to "immediately cease the delivery of incentives to voters related to the casting of votes in the general elections on November 3."
"Under K.S.A. 25-2409 of the state code, electoral bribery includes giving, offering, or agreeing to grant a benefit in exchange for voting in a public election. This is a level 7 felony. Additionally, federal law 52 U.S.C. § 10307(c) penalizes as a criminal offense paying or offering payments to anyone for voting in elections that include federal candidates," the local official specified in a statement.

"As Attorney General, and previously as Secretary of State, I have prosecuted numerous cases of electoral fraud in Kansas, including votes from unregistered citizens and double voting. But I never thought a group in Kansas would be so brazen as to go door to door, three days before a general election, offering economic incentives to voters," he added.
“This looks like Chicago in the 1950s, not the state of Kansas in the 2020s. As long as I am Attorney General, those who violate our election laws will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Kobach assured, who, according to Trump, has photographic evidence of an activist going door to door in Wichita offering gift cards in exchange for votes.
Finally, Trump requested that if any citizen has information about any case of electoral fraud, they should notify Kobach's office immediately to file the corresponding criminal complaint. In Kansas, Republican Senator Roger Marshall will defend his seat against Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton this Tuesday, November 3.
