Kobach Hasn't Gotten Federal Approval For Latest Kansas Senate Ploy

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Mark Johnson, an election law expert at the University of Kansas, didn't foresee any problem for Kobach getting a waiver -- if he got around to submitting one.

"I would think that it would be granted," he said. "This is the kind of situation that the law anticipates."

But if he didn't, that would open up a world of trouble, Steve Huefner, a law professor at Ohio State University, told TPM. He would open himself up to a lawsuit from the Justice Department for failing to comply with the law, and in the event of a close election that might be determined by the late-arriving absentee ballots, the whole election could be challenged in court, he said.

1. And yet an article today says polling from this week

shows he is still up 6 points (I think it said) over his challenger who was an R until just recently.

I fear that he, even if he is in big trouble, will sail through the election as will Brownback.

Please let me eat those words.

2. Kris Kobach is an idiot

The fact that he did not get Federal approval is really typical for this idiot
