Sheriff McGovern faced pushback when trying to pick up a general election advance ballot for his mother who did not live at the Schwarz Road address. Her address was later changed to his west Lawrence home, while McGovern confirmed Lois McGovern does not reside with him. Experts described Kansas residency as intent to return, complicating whether voting rights were misused.
