Rep. Vic Miller is taking aim at another legislative candidates residency claims, accusing a Johnson County Republican of committing voter fraud and daring Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to take action.
Adam Thomas responded by calling it a baseless attack by an opponent with lagging support.
Miller, a Topeka Democrat and attorney, previously launched an unsuccessful objection to Michael Capps, a Wichita Republican who switched races shortly before the filing deadline. Capps on Monday convinced the State Objections Board that he moved to the new location.
After learning of the objection to Capps, Democratic party leaders approached Miller with questions about Thomas. Although too late to file an objection for a primary race, Miller called a news conference Tuesday to shame Republicans for recruiting candidates to seek office outside their home district.
He provided evidence showing Thomas registered to vote with a new Olathe address a day before the filing deadline. The landlord at the new address signed an affidavit saying the candidate doesnt actually live there. When she performed an inspection on Monday, Miller said, the landlord found no evidence of Thomas, his wife or their children. Additionally, Thomas campaign finance reports list a different Olathe address.
Democrats are watching both houses, Miller said.
If youre going to be a liar, he said, it would help to be a good one.

He looks so much better in his other picture, wearing his shroud, waiting for the straight jacket fitting, mentioned above.

(42,676 posts)fielding a candidate like this is an error of commission. Time was Republicans didn't do this, they were Main Street Fundamentalist types with squeaky clean image. Liberals were the long-haired, erratic ones.
Times they are a-changing.
