So, the person who would oversee the recount of Kobach/Colyer? Kris Kobach.

You can't make this up.

No law prevents Kris Kobach from overseeing the likely recount in his own race

https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article216299955.html

No law requires Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to recuse himself from a recount in the governor’s race, but legal and political experts say that he should to maintain trust in the election.

Republican legislative leaders said Wednesday morning that a recount is almost certain and could possibly take weeks.

Kobach, the state’s top election official, narrowly led Gov. Jeff Colyer in the Republican primary by a mere 191 votes Wednesday morning after each of the state’s 105 counties had posted election returns after technical difficulties in Johnson County delayed results on election night.

1. The RNC didn't want Kobach to win because he's unpopular with independents & some R's

thus he's more likely to give Democrats a win. There's a lot of bad shit we can throw at him.

2. im sure somewhere a lawsuit's being filed for the conflict of interest

3. Best possible result on the Republican side. There are sure

to be hard feelings and bad press resulting from Kobach conducting the recount, especially if Kobach wins.
