A week after the highly contested vote for the Kansas GOP Gubernatorial Primary, Gov. Jeff Colyer has conceded the race to Secretary of State Kris Kobach. In a statement last night Colyer said he believed he was doing the right thing by conceding.
At the time of the announcement, Kobach led Colyer by 345 votes after Sedgewick and Johnson counties certified their votes. A total of 91 out of 105 counties had certified their results. Colyer went on to say he would endorse Kris Kobach in the run and not ask for a recount or challenge the vote in court. Kobach says he looks forward to working with Colyer and all Republicans to keep Kansas Republican in November. Kobach will now face Democratic Sen. Laura Kelly in the general election in November.
