Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R) said in a press release Saturday that he sent a cease and desist letter to BlueStem Kansas for allegedly "offering gift cards to voters for voting."
'We have photographic evidence. This is a Criminal Offense!'
Kobach said a voter claimed that a person identifying as a canvasser for BlueStem offered the voter a $5 gift card.
"Under K.S.A. 25-2409, election bribery includes giving, offering, or agreeing to give a benefit in exchange for voting at a public election," he wrote. "It is a severity level 7, nonperson felony. Federal law, 52 U.S.C. § 10307(c), separately makes it a crime to pay or offer to pay anyone for voting in an election that includes federal candidates."
Trump blasted the group in a post on Truth Social.
"I have just been informed by the Great Attorney General of Kansas, Kris Kobach, that a Radical Left PAC operative was caught on camera going door to door in Wichita offering gift cards to people for votes," he wrote Sunday.
"We have photographic evidence. This is a Criminal Offense!" he added.
Kobach said he requested that the group preserve communications related to the alleged election incentives, which is a step taken in anticipation of possible legal action.
"As attorney general and before that as secretary of state, I have prosecuted many cases of voter fraud in Kansas, including voting by noncitizens and double voting," said Kobach in a statement.
"But I never thought that a group in Kansas would be so brazen as to go door-to-door three days before a general election offering voters monetary incentives," he added. "This sounds like Chicago in the 1950s, not 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."

Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas accused Democrats of direct involvement in the scheme.
"Chuck Schumer’s Democrats tried to buy out Kansas through ads, but when that wasn’t working they have resorted to pure bribery," wrote Marshall on social media. "Please report any illegal election activity to the Attorney General‘s office!"
BlueStem Kansas says on its website that it advocates for health care access and gun control and opposes school choice in the form of vouchers.
Marshall is losing by a narrow margin to his Democratic challenger, according to the Blaze News Poll Watch average of polls.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
