Kansas proposes transferring voter fraud prosecutions to attorney general
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Secretary of State-elect Scott Schwab propose repealing the secretary of state's authority to prosecute voter fraud. They plan to vest prosecutions with the attorney general or local prosecutors, citing efficiency and a 2016 division handling fraud cases. They aim to introduce the bill after January legislative session convenes.

In Kansas wet conditions hinder planting of winter wheat even as moisture helps soybeans and milo. Raylen Phelan notes mud delays, while Kansas Soybean Commission cites 74 percent soybean harvest versus a 90 percent five year average.
