Lawmakers OK prosecutorial power for Kobach
The Republican led Legislature sent to Gov. Brownback a bill granting Kris Kobach authority to prosecute election fraud in state courts. The measure passed 67-55 after Senate approval, while the House and Senate agreed to move spring municipal and school board elections to fall in odd-numbered years, keeping races nonpartisan. Kobach argued district attorneys overlook such cases, while opponents called it a politicized local-control intrusion.
