Clickbait. Kansas hates her! This mom mathematician proved voter fraud with this one weird trick!
Kansas isn't "trying to silence her". She's just not allowed her hands on the ballots for various legal reasons.
I haven't read her alleged paper so I don't know whether her case is reasonable or not. Judging by the standards of most of the "here, be outraged by this!" shit I read on the Internet, I am guessing it's BS.

The legal reasons appeared to be rubbish: protecting voter identity by refusing to hand over voter records that don't have any names on them? "Losing" formal requests for information? You can't do that. It's blatantly obstructionist.

It's painfully obvious that entrenched republicans are behind this, and that they're committing election fraud.
Based on your reaction to these facts, I'm guessing you're a republican. Maybe you shouldn't be, since your party is obviously corrupt and resorting to things that in other countries we would rightly a dictatorship or authoritative regime in order to stay in power.
I'm not a democrat, because they're almost as bad, but corruption is corruption. There's no reason in a democracy to dispute a recount, or to deny this mathematician access to data that could prove or disprove her hypothesis.
