Kobach Tries to Force Democrats to Name a Candidate

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) jumped into a lawsuit “filed by a disgruntled voter seeking to force Kansas Democrats to name a new U.S. Senate nominee in hopes of speeding the resolution of a legal dispute shadowing a race with possible national implications,” the Kansas City Star reports.

“Kobach, like the voter, argues that a state election law requires Democrats to replace ex-nominee Chad Taylor, who earlier this month dropped out of the race against three-term Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.”
