Kris Kobach appears July 20, 2020, for a recording of Kansas Reflector s podcast. A federal judge ruled his signature law, which required new voters to provide a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship, unconstitutional in 2018.
TOPEKA The American Civil Liberties Union and other attorneys want to be repaid more than $4 million for their five-year legal battle with Kansas officials who fought to restrict voter registrations under the false pretense of widespread voter fraud.
The proposed price tag adds a punctuation mark to the prolonged fight over former Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s signature law, which required new voters to prove their citizenship before registering to vote. Kobach suffered defeat during an embarrassing 2018 trial in federal court, and stiffed taxpayers with the bills when he was twice held in contempt and ordered to take a remedial law course.

14 mins ago Face the music : senators start to desert Trump
Support for Donald Trump s attempt to overturn his election loss began to collapse in the Senate on Monday (Tuesday AEDT) after the electoral college certified Joe Biden s victory.

After weeks of silence as Trump sought to overturn the results in increasingly extreme ways, some urged their colleagues to move on. I understand there are people who feel strongly about the outcome of this election, but in the end, at some point, you have to face the music, John Thune, the Republicans No. 2 in the Senate, told reporters. And I think once the electoral college settles the issue today, it s time for everybody to move on.
