A federal judge on Wednesday found Secretary of State Kris Kobach in contempt of court in a case involving Kansas voting laws, her latest rebuke of the Republican candidate for governor.
Kobach is considered a GOP frontrunner despite his constant court battles involving voter fraud and strict voting requirements that he has pushed while in office as the state's top election official.
In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson in Kansas City, Kan., referred repeatedly to Kobach as acting disingenuously.
She chastised him for failing to treat the voters affected by the ongoing court case the same as all other registered voters in accordance with a previous court order.
The term register is not ambiguous, nor should there have been any question that these voters were to be treated just like any other registered voter, Robinson said in her order.
Instead of a fine in the contempt matter, Robinson ordered Kobach to pay attorneys fees for the plaintiffs in the case.
The Court is troubled by Defendants failure to take responsibility for violating this Courts orders, and for failing to ensure compliance over an issue that he explicitly represented to the Court had been accomplished, Robinson wrote.
