Gothmog updated a thread today:

Kobach expert witness: Carlos Murguia sounds foreign. ACLU attorney: Thats a federal judge
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210350534

35,000 voters in Kansas are at stake and Kobach got an ass-chewing ("humiliated" is how MotherJones put it) from the judge.

Just my opinion, but unravelling the dirty voter suppression schemes of GOPers is much more fruitful than stroking trumpanzees.
