Not surprisingly, Kobach struggled to offer evidence that doesn’t exist. The judge’s ruling is online here.

And while this was clearly an embarrassing outcome for the Kansas Republican – who also happens to be running for governor this year – what made yesterday especially brutal for Kobach was the extent to which the judge in this case humiliated him over his professional standards.


The Wichita Eagle reported that Robinson, while ruling against the state, “also ordered Kobach, … to take more hours of continuing legal education after he was found in contempt and was frequently chided during the trial over missteps.”

In fact, in this case, Kobach was found in contempt twice. Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern recently pulled together a list of “all the ways Kris Kobach has already lied to the court that’s overseeing his Kansas voter fraud trial,” and it wasn’t a short list.

Evidently, that didn’t go over well.
