TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Latest on a legal challenge to Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's right to appear as the GOP nominee for governor on the November ballot (all times local):
3:10 p.m.
An all-Republican state board has rejected a liberal activist's challenge to Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach appearing on the November ballot as the GOP nominee for governor.
The State Objections Board concluded Monday that Davis Hammet of Topeka could not show that Kobach's narrow victory over Gov. Jeff Colyer in the Republican primary in August would be overturned because of issues Hammet raised. Hammet argued hundreds of legal ballots were not counted.
Kobach defeated Gov. Jeff Colyer by 343 votes out of more than 317,000 cast.
