Kris Kobach (R) Likely To Oversee His Own Recount

No law requires Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to recuse himself from a recount in the governor’s race....

Republican legislative leaders said Wednesday morning that a recount is almost certain and could possibly take weeks....

Kobach, the state’s top election official, narrowly led Gov. Jeff Colyer in the Republican primary by a mere 191 votes Wednesday morning after each of the state’s 105 counties had posted election returns....

“There’s nothing in the statute that says the secretary has to recuse himself,” said Mark Johnson, a partner at the Kansas City law firm Dentons who has experience in election law. “But I would have to believe that in a situation like this, the secretary would be well advised to remove any appearance of impropriety.”

Kobach is a fine, honest, and upstanding individual. If he recounts his own votes and wins the election no reason to question the results.
