Kobach speaks out on Colyer:
Kobach answers Colyer: “Your suggestion that these same county election officials need to be reminded by you to abide by federal and state election laws does nothing to increase the public’s trust in the elections process and is beneath the office of governor.” #ksleg

At his contempt hearing earlier this year, Kobach also tried to argue that he doesn’t have direct control over county election officials. Judge did not find this argument convincing #ksleg https://t.co/UoPeI8ZxdQ

The back and forth between Kobach and Colyer resembles primary-election-type talk.

The last time a Kansas gubernatorial race was this close, it involved … goat glands: https://t.co/3k5uqzuf7X @samzeff @ksnewsservice pic.twitter.com/aYDpmBDf1D

Brinkley, who everyone called Doc, is now infamous for a scheme in which he implanted impotent men with goat glands. Men would travel from around the country to his hospital in Milford (about ten miles north of Junction City) for the procedure. They could pick out their own goat from Brinkley’s herd. (The procedure didn’t work.)
For the second straight day, rain stays south of dry St. Joe.
Another round of widely scattered thunderstorms expected south of I-70 this afternoon/evening.
Outdoor activities in the vicinity of thunderstorms may be impacted by gusty winds (30-50 mph) and frequent lightning between 3 pm and 8 pm. pic.twitter.com/xkp4nufixS— NWS Kansas City (@NWSKansasCity) August 10, 2018
