1/ Kris Kobach's GOP primary race in Kansas is too close to call. His current office is now responsible for a recount and there's no law stopping him from overseeing it. (via @KCStar)

2/ Kobach rose to political power in part because of his anti-immigration proposals.

Small towns hired him to defend the legislations but ended up paying millions in costly courtroom failures. And as for Kobach, well, he's running for governor. propub.li/2Om88bL
3/ In fact, we've written a few more things about Kris Kobach. Here's a thread from earlier this week:

1/ Thread: This is a story about what happens when you say no to #MS13.

@hannahdreier spent the year reporting on the gang on Long Island. This story is from her and @Ksurana6.

It is long. It is riveting. It is graphic.
2/ Jonathan came to the US from Honduras in 2013, to be with his mother on Long Island.

Later, he remembered how lonely it had been — so he liked to be the first to welcome new immigrant teens when they showed up to Bellport High.

That’s how he met Gerson Saravia.
3/ Jonathan introduced Gerson to his friends, including:

-the Morales brothers, from Guatemala
-Alfred, a Salvadoran-American freshman

Soon, Gerson was coming over to their houses after school to play video games.

2/ Waste removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, and every night in New York private trucks zigzag across the city making hundreds of stops each. We charted one driver’s journey with this interactive map: propub.li/2sb7CEc
3/ Speaking of waste removal, we produced this explainer video on deaths caused by drivers of trucks owned by Sanitation Salvage, a Bronx trash hauler that has defended its record but has since surrendered its operating license:

1/ Hi. Do you like our storms — and how we use social to *do* journalism?

Do you think about how journalism can be done differently — and have experience doing it?

Well, happy Wednesday. propub.li/2CKixLb
2/ We’re hiring someone to lead our audience and engagement team. You’ll be overseeing more than a half-dozen journos — our social folks & our engagement reporters, who do deeply cool work:

Thread: 2018 election most important midterms for voting rights in my lifetime. Election could be tainted by voter suppression or historic opportunity to expand voting rights for millions of people. Here's what's at stake npr.org/2018/10/23/659…

#Kansas voting board crushes a challenge to #KrisKobach’s 343 vote "win" in the Republican gubernatorial primary. The judges: 3 GOP party hacks led by #Kobach’s assistant, Eric Rucker. kansascity.com/news/politics-… #KansasPrimary
The challenger, @Davis_Hammet of @loud_light, told me that, weirdly, Brant Laue also voted against counting about 4,000 uncounted ballots—even though Laue, in his day job as Chief Counsel for Governor Jeff Colyer, had written an official letter DEMANDING Kobach count the votes.
There’s democracy and then there’s #Kansas. It’s easy to tell them apart.

Kris Kobach's lead in Repub primary has shrunk to only 91 votes after election officials discovered a mistake in the listing for one county's results in the state's tally of votes.

Deafening silence from conservative conspiracy theorist who would normally contend mistake = fraud

Kobach‘s dept decreased his opponents vote total
"Shelly Harms, Thomas County clerk, said in a phone interview that her office reported correct data to the state ... Ms. Harms said Mr. Colyer’s vote total was the only number from her county the state recorded incorrectly." 👀
