Federal judge finds Kris Kobach in contempt of court
Source: Topeka Capital-Journal
U.S. District Court Judge Julie Robinson has found Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach in contempt for failing to comply with her orders in a lawsuit over the states voter registration law.
Robinson didnt impose a fine but ordered Kobach to pay for damages caused by his failure to comply, including attorney fees.
Robinson in 2016 issued a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of the states proof of citizenship requirements, but the state continued to send notices to new applicants telling them they wouldnt be allowed to vote. Before the November 2016 elections, Kobach told Robinson that counties would send postcards to notify those affected that they would be allowed to participate.
However, his elections director, Bryan Caskey, testified he never was told about the postcards promise and didnt given written instructions for counties to comply.

I believe the idiots wants to exempt ks businesses from paying...which
put kansas where it is now...short of revenue...Same type of deal
as the new tax laws...looks good for awhile, peoples taxes are reduced,
but later down the road revenue shortages will cause taxes to go up.
All because people still fall for the 'trickle down' concept.

(6,933 posts)Yeah,he wants to restore the same ZERO% tax rate for Corporations and then really,really GUT the hell out of any program that him and his money bags buddy Hartman don't like. Meanwhile all the rest of us had not one but TWO State sales tax increases foisted on us.
It's truly scary when you see shit bags like KKKobach and Hartman teaming up to destroy this State.
