That makes sense. He associated with Trump, and now that cloud of corruption is following him.

At this rate Kobach can consider himself the 2024 frontrunner for the GOP's Presidential nomination.

Why is he always doing this the last minute?

It's better that he does that, remember how short the memory and attention span of the average American is. Now cut that in half that and that's the memory and attention span of a Trump devotee.

What the heck? 191 votes? Someone tell me again every vote doesn't count.

If there is a recount, who will most likely benefit?

Kobach, because as Secretary of State he will find a way to make himself win. I wouldn't put it past him.

It would be hilarious if Kobach loses because of voter fraud Wink

It would be more hilarious if he won because of it.

Not saying that Kobach would necessarily do something like this, but just as an example of what a partisan SoS can do in this type of situation, here's a cautionary tale from the Indiana CD 8 election in 1984.  Incumbent Frank McCloskey (D) was running against Republican Rick McIntyre:

Let's not sugar coat it. Kobach absolutely would do something like this.

Yeah, it shows Colyer ahead by 10, but Kobach down by 1.

That's still too close for comfort.

Called it. F*** Kobach so hard. And before anyone says: "I would," he's a decent looking guy, but he is no Martin Heinrich.

This isn’t pure speculation at this point, but I saw a former KS GOP official say that a majority of provisional ballots are people who thought there were registered GOP but were listed unaffiliated when they showed up. These votes are usually counted and then registered as GOP. I would imagine these voters would lean towards Colyer pretty heavily since they’re more likely to be moderate, and thus this is why a lot in the Colyer camp are confident they’ll take the lead back on Monday.


Watch Kobach argue they shouldn’t be counted.

I guarantee that he will.

Don't f*** this up, Kansas! You're the ones that are going to suffer if Kobach wins.

Good. Let the clowns split the Republican vote instead of the Democratic vote.

I don't think too many Kansans will be influenced by this.

Fantastic news. Mr. Colyer, please do likewise.

This guy is behind Kobach's labor outreach. A Democrat, Keith Mark, is Kobach's hunting buddy and was his initial link to Donald Trump. He also has been doing favors for Kobach in terms of garnering union support.


That guy is truly evil.

Early voting numbers in Sedgwick haven't been good for Republicans. Honestly everything has just been brutal for Kobach this month, I don't think I've seen a single positive article or ad about him.

Good. There are few politicians i dislike more then him.

Who is more deplorable, KKKris KKKobach or KKKonfederate KKKorey?
Kobach.  KKKorey doesn't have the power to depress voting like the other guy does.
