Steve Hohe, the Libertarian candidate running for Congress in Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District, is getting campaign help from an unlikely source — a Democratic voting rights advocacy group.
The group, a Super PAC called the Voter Protection Project, has spent more than $349,534 supporting Hohe’s campaign this cycle as it appears to be attempting to siphon votes away from Republican candidate Amanda Adkins.
On their website, the group says it supports legislation to expand voting rights, which Adkins' Democratic opponent, Rep. Sharice Davids, has voted for in Congress. Adkins has criticized that vote, saying Davids is attempting to hand power over elections to the federal government, a line of argument that has been used by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to oppose the Democrats’ large voting rights bills.
