Oh Kobach, You Fail So Daintily

Kris Kobach, the former head of Trump’s Voter Fraud panel, which lasted about the same length of time as a donut at a cop convention, is all covered in misery right now.

Kris W. Kobach, the secretary of state in Kansas and face of the Trump administration’s efforts to clamp down on supposed voter fraud, was found by a federal judge on Wednesday to have disobeyed orders to notify thousands of Kansans in 2016 that they were registered to vote.

People in Kansas can register to vote when they get a driver’s license.  A court ruled that Kobach was supposed to send a postcard to people notifying them that they were registered to vote and the location of their voting poll.  It must have slipped his damn mind because he didn’t do it.

“The Court is troubled by Defendant’s failure to take responsibility for violating this Court’s orders, and for failing to ensure compliance over an issue that he explicitly represented to the Court had been accomplished,” the judge wrote.

Here’s my favorite part:

Judge Robinson did not impose a fine or other sanctions, but ordered Mr. Kobach to pay “reasonable” legal fees to the A.C.L.U.

Oh man, that’s gotta hurt.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
