Discussion: Trump Acolyte Kobach Leads Kansas Gubernatorial Primary By 191 Votes

There will be a full-court press by Kobach’s loyalists to count the remaining ballots in a way that favors him and dispute ballots not for him.

Plenty of ammo to use against Kobach in a general election.

Dems should really be pulling for Kobach. According to the polls he loses to Kelly. Colyer beats Kelly.

I just reached out to my aunt and uncle in Kansas (Dems) to see what they think. I’ll get back when I hear something.

Kobach’s supporters will demand that the citizenship of every single voter be verified before the results can be accepted as final.

I hope he wins. It sets up a win win in Kansas. If Kobach wins he’ll set the state back a half a century which might bring a few folks around. Kansas isn’t going to give up wing nut politics until it overdoses on it. Kobach is just the guy to get that done.

They overdosed under Brownback. The wild card in November is Greg Orman. He seems to be trying to pull from Republicans who hate Nancy Pelosi. That could help Kelly.

And the poll workers were have some problems with all the Russian surnames and difficult accents (the FSB didn’t have enough sleeper agents in Kansas and had to bring in ringers). I made that up just now but in Kobach-universe, that’s good enough. Lock him up!

Yep - they’re already the half century behind from Brownstain. With Kobach, it’ll just be like the badlands of the early 1800’s.

I’d like to think that anyone could beat Kris Kobach, but it doesn’t appear as though very many Democrats are even left in Kansas based on primary results. Fewer than half as many people voted in the Democratic primary in Kansas as voted in the Republican primary. That’s a bad sign overall.

Or a sign that their primary just wasn’t an interesting or close contest.

Kansans get the leaders they deserve

Possibly, and I would hope that that’s the case. We’ll know in three months.

191 vote edge??? rigged!!. Kobach stuffed the ballot box!!

I’m not sure “acolyte” is the right word for this situation. “Toady” fits much better.
