After almost no primaries in July, five states are holding elections today. While national races for U.S. House and Senate seats will garner much attention, a familiar face in the Republican race for Kansas attorney general should worry libertarians.
The state's current attorney general, Derek Schmidt, a Republican, is running for governor instead of seeking another term. Three Republicans are competing for the party's nomination—and, in a state that leans Republican by more than 20 points, likely the position. One of those candidates, Kris Kobach, is familiar to Kansas voters, who have rejected him at the ballot box twice in the past four years.
