Interesting election antics in Kansas

[Derideo_Te]

The desperation of Kris Kobach is apparently one of his more endearing features to the Tea Party crowd.

He has passed a law making it illegal to vote in KS state elections unless you can provide proof of citizenship like a birth certificate or a naturalization certificate. 18,000 voters have been disenfranchised for failing to produce those documents to date. Fortunately they can still vote in Federal elections but this reeks of Jim Crow laws.

Naturally, because he really is quite a stupid person, he has no idea how many seniors, including war veterans, he is disenfranchising, and many of them actually vote Republican.

Poor Kobach, he really can't get anything right. Now, he claims to be one of those really pious, born-again types, but I prophesy that within a couple of years, he will get hooked up in a hooker scandal, either gay or straight. Wait and see.

Kan. secretary of State demands ballot decision by Oct. 1 TheHill

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) is asking a Kansas district court to decide the question of whether the state Democratic Party must choose a nominee for the ballot by next week.

The state Supreme Court transferred the case, brought by a Kansas Democratic voter unhappy with candidate Chad Taylor’s exit from the race, to a lower court this week. The move was largely seen as a delay of the case beyond the deadline by which ballots would need to be printed, effectively a win for Democrats.
....................

A Kansas legal statute does appear to require the state parties to name replacements for any nominees who exit their races post-primary. But even if the district court does rule that the Democratic Party must choose a new nominee, KWCH is reporting there’s no clear penalty to be brought against the party if it defies the court’s order.

desperation time for Kris Kobach, no where to turn with time running out ... couldn't be a more fitting conclusion for a political hack if the democrats had actually planed it.

No Ruling on Kansas Democrats Picking Candidate

September 29, 2014

No Ruling on Kansas Democrats Picking Candidate
A three-judge panel "did not decide Monday whether Kansas Democrats should be required to pick a replacement for Chad Taylor (D), who dropped out of the closely contested U.S. Senate campaign against longtime incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), the Topeka Capital Journal reports.

"The court challenge seeking to force Democrats to fill the vacancy hit a stumbling block Monday when the man who filed the suit failed to show up for his day in court."

they may as well role the presses, with no-show for the Ds in Kansas.

Roberts will retain his seat.

having to save Robers is a plus for the Ds whether it works or not and if not Georgia may slip away as well.

how the new poles tell in Kansas will be most interesting.
