Honestly, seeing as there are seemigly no limits to the lengths that Kris Kobach will go to to ensure that Roberts wins, I'm starting to question whether it is even possible to have a fair election in Kansas at this point. If there's any way for Kobach to somehow steal this election for Roberts, I tend to think that he will do it. The man appears to have zero morals.

True, I don't think there's any doubt to whether he'd try to undo Katherine Harris if he thought that would save Roberts.

But the thing I don't understand is, what does Kobach get out of this deal? It's one thing to stand by Roberts, but at this point Kobach is expending a substantial amount of his own good will and political capital on highly transparent partisan shenanigans designed to prop up a relatively unpopular incumbent. What's the upside for Kobach? This can't possibly help him in his own race. Threatening to delay military ballots? That attack ad practically writes itself.

What do you mean? The whole purpose of a Republican Secretary of State is to do what he needs to do to maximize the odds of Republicans winning more important races.
