From the Wichita Eagle:
Kansas voters’ frustration with illegal immigration gave law professor Kris Kobach the Republican nomination for Kansas secretary of state in Tuesday night’s primary.
Kobach, a former state GOP chairman who helped write Arizona’s new law on illegal immigration, had nearly 53 percent of the vote with 79 percent of the state’s precincts reporting on a three-way race. Kobach has linked attacking illegal immigration to combating voter fraud.
He’ll face incumbent Democrat Chris Biggs of Junction City in the November general election. Biggs, appointed to the job in March by Democratic Gov. Mark Parkinson, defeated state Sen. Chris Steineger of Kansas City with 60 percent of the vote.
