Talking Points Memo reports:
Anti-immigration hardliner, voter fraud alarmist and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach finally broke his losing streak on Tuesday night, winning the Republican primary for Kansas attorney general.
Kobach defeated Kansas state Sen. Kellie Warren (R), his top rival, by a little over four points.
Kobach’s victory follows a string of failed bids for Kansas governor in 2018 and U.S. Senate in 2020, when he lost to now-Gov. Laura Kelly (D) and now-Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), respectively.

Trump endorsed the We Build The Wall scheme, and said, “I want the media to know this project has my blessing,” per Kris Kobach.

On 1/23/17 Trump lied that 3-5 million undocumented immigrants had somehow been able to vote illegally, costing him the popular vote.
In 2018 his Kobach-fronted voter fraud commission disbanded, citing lack of evidence. He kept on repeating the lie.
