The push against Kobach by the Republican establishment is the second attempt by outside groups to thwart his campaign. As Breitbart News exclusively reported, the pro-open borders ACLU called voters across Kansas to warn them against voting for Kobach.
Kobach most recently fought the ACLU in court over the state’s proof of citizenship laws. A left-leaning judge ended up siding with the ACLU in claiming that proof of citizenship laws for voters are unconstitutional.
Kobach has told Breitbart News that he is continuing to fight for the state’s right to mandate voters provide proof of citizenship in order to combat voter fraud, saying the case is likely to make it all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Soros’ Open Society Foundation provides the ACLU with enormous amounts of funding every year to promote open borders and, most recently, sue Trump’s administration for their “zero tolerance” policy at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The ACLU is also suing the Trump administration for putting the citizenship question back onto the 2020 Census. The citizenship question will allow the federal government to have an accurate depiction of how many U.S. citizens are living in the country, something Kobach says is the purpose of the Census.
