Kobach Colyer Race Feud Deepens After Vote Discrepancies
The Kansas governor primary race widened as Kobach’s lead narrowed from 191 to 121 votes amid counts from two counties showing tally errors. Colyer accused Kobach of advising county officials to influence mail in ballots and potential provisional ballot miscounts, while delays and a posting mismatch in Thomas County prompted a post election check. The race remains unsettled with late-count rules allowing postmarked ballots and provisional votes to be reviewed through August 20.
