When will he have the time?

Seriously, he will shoot migrants if given any chance.

And if we are ever to trust the voting system again, he can't be any where near it.

Thus far, most of the damage Mr. Kobach has wrought has been at the state and local levels. As an adviser to immigration hard-liners in Arizona — including the felonious-until-pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio — he helped write the state law that, among other measures, tasked the local police with verifying the citizenship of anyone they had “reasonable suspicion” to believe was undocumented. Passed in 2010, the same year Mr. Kobach was elected Kansas secretary of state, Arizona’s S.B. 1070 set off a six-year legal battle that rendered the law largely toothless. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/08/opinion/editorials/kris-kobach-kansas-gop-primary.html


His education in some of the world's best schools apparently did him no good.

And Kobach will again fail at anything he tries to do , or be held accountable for his crimes. Trump always picks the most corrupt he can find, and to control them to do even worse things.

I still expect Senate Repugs to fall in line, but Kobach is pushing it.
