Comment on Kansas governor concedes to Kris Kobach in GOP primary

Kansas governor concedes to Kris Kobach in GOP primary

One week after the Kansas Republican gubernatorial primary, Gov. Jeff Colyer conceded the race on Tuesday night to Secretary of State Kris Kobach. The race was too close to call last Tuesday night. Officials counted more than 313,000 ballots, and found that Kobach had a slim lead of 345 votes. During the recount last week, Colyer called on Kobach to recuse himself; he did, but then sent Colyer a letter accusing him of undermining "the public's confidence in the election process." Colyer is a plastic surgeon and served as liutenant governor for seven years, becoming governor after Sam Brownback resigned to head the State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom.
