Kobach refuses to recuse himself from election recount
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who holds a razor-thin lead over incumbent Jeff Colyer in Kansas’ Republican gubernatorial primary dubbed too close to call, said Wednesday that he will not recuse himself from a recount process.
Why it matters: Kobach’s position as the state’s top election official and a staunch ally of President Trump conflicts with concerns that have been raised about the integrity of his involvement in past U.S. elections. However, local reports explain there’s no law mandating him to recuse himself from a recount.
