Kobach Held In Contempt Over Voter Eligibility Notices
U.S. District Judge Julie Robison found Kansas Secretary Kris Kobach in contempt for failing to inform voters of eligibility and to update the states election guide during a citizenship proof case. The ruling, tied to training and postcard mailings to registered voters, imposes court costs but no fines. The ACLU had sought the contempt finding and Kobach’s campaign vowed an appeal.
