Fixing elections for the Repugs by vote(r) cherrypicking is his speciality, why would he stop when he can so easily do it for himself.

He is so,so horrible. Disgusting that he could become a governor, even in Kansas,a wholly owned Koch subsidiary.

Gov. Jeff Colyer is calling on Secretary of State Kris Kobach to recuse himself from "providing election advice to county election officers."

"Advising county clerks to discard mail-in ballots that were clearly mailed by Tuesday is unacceptable and must not stand," the governor said in a statement on Thursday.

This is going to get nasty https://politicalwire.com/2018/08/11/colyer-accuses-kobach-of-not-counting-all-votes/

Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer (R) accused Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) of intentionally pushing a miscount of the number of ballots cast in the gubernatorial primary race in an interview with Fox News.

Said Colyer: “Secretary Kobach’s office was instructing counties not to count ballots that are in the mail, and those clearly have to be counted under Kansas law.”
