Kris Kobach’s trial against @aclu turned into comedy of errors for him. His sham claims of widespread voter fraud were debunked once and for all motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
There were some incredible moments from ACLU v Kobach trial, so I'm going to tweet a few highlights
Kobach expert Hans von Spakovsky, who's pushed myth of widespread voter fraud for decades, admitted under oath he couldn't name single election where illegal votes by non-citizens tipped outcome 
Another expert hired by Kobach created list of alleged non-citizen voters based on "foreign" sounding names. He was asked if he would flag "Carlos Murguia" as foreign. He said yes. ACLU attorney @dale_e_ho said Murguia was federal judge at Kansas courthouse
Kobach found only 5 cases of non-citizens voting over 2 decades, but blocked 35,000 eligible voters from registering. When Kobach said fraud claims were "tip of the iceberg" ACLU responded "The iceberg, on close inspection, Your Honor, it’s more of an ice cube.”
The judge, a George W. Bush appointee, repeatedly lectured Kobach on "Evidence 101" and told him "We’re not going to have a trial by ambush here.”
The trial ended with the judge considering whether to hold Kobach in contempt of court for refusing to properly register voters in Kansas. "I made it clear they’re fully registered voters,” she told him, pounding her desk for emphasis
