On November 4, a state trial court in Kansas permanently enjoined the Secretary of State from keeping two separate lists of registered voters. One list would have been people who used the federal voter registration form, and the Secretary of State wanted to prevent those voters from voting for state and local office. The case is Brown v Kobach, Shawnee County District Court, 2016-cv-550. The court order says there is nothing in the Kansas election code authorizing the Secretary of State to maintain two separate lists.
Independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin is on the ballot in eleven states, and those ballots list Nathan Johnson as his vice-presidential running mate. But the McMullin campaign has been unwilling to tell the press anything about Johnson. A reporter for the McClatchy newspaper chain then did his own investigation, and his story says that Johnson lives in San Diego and is not willing to tell the press much about himself. McMullin says if any of his presidential elector candidates are elected, they will vote for Mindy Finn for vice-president.
The reporter also says McMullin will probably receive several million votes.
