Topeka Capital Journal:
The American Civil Liberties Union is asking for more than $50,000 in compensation for hours spent fighting Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach over issues that led to his contempt of court finding.
U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson ordered Kobachs office to pay for attorney fees and expenses when she ruled last month that Kobach ignored her orders after she blocked enforcement of the states voter registration law. Kobach has filed a notice with the court saying he intends to appeal her decision.
Kobach failed to follow through on a promise to Robinson that counties would send postcards notifying people they could vote, even if they failed to show proof of citizenship when they registered. He continued to fight the notion that postcards were necessary until the day of his contempt hearing, which followed a trial in which he struggled to prove claims of widespread voter fraud
