Kansas lawmakers on Tuesday dropped an effort to require Secretary of State Kris Kobach to pay a contempt of court fine with his own money, rather than state dollars
U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson held Kobach in contempt for failing to follow her 2016 order to fully register and notify voters he had blocked for not providing proof of citizenship.
Robinson issued the contempt citation at the urging of the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents Kansans challenging the states strict voter registration laws.
