A measure regarding ballot drop boxes in Kansas cleared a Senate committee yesterday despite a split among republicans.

An effort is currently underway in Topeka to limit each county in Kansas to one drop box, only inside its election office and only when two people from different political parties are constantly monitoring the box. Counties currently can have as many drop boxes as they want and 167 were in use in last year’s election. Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach backs the bill while GOP Secretary of State Scott Schwab opposes it. The bill was approved on a 5-4 vote.
