I’ve been to Kansas. It’s filled with Jesus Jumpers and conservative whack-a-doodles so the latest foray into Krazy Land shouldn’t come as a surprise to the thinking part of the nation. I’m not even shocked by the direct political connection between their secretary of state and Mittens Romney given the insanity of this election.
Check out the latest nonsense from the “silly” faction of the Republican party:
(Newser) If you thought birther-ism was dead, we’ve got some bad news. The Kansas State Objections Board is considering kicking Barack Obama off the ballot unless it finds more evidence he was born in the US, the Topeka Capital-Journal reports. The all-Republican board agreed yesterday to investigate a ballot challenge arguing that there were “doubts” about Obama’s citizenship. “I don’t think it’s a frivolous objection,” said Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State and an informal Romney advisor. “I do think the factual record could be supplemented.”
The board will send inquiries to Hawaii, Arizona, and Mississippi for evidence. Kobach later told Talking Points Memo that legally, a “frivolous” argument is one that cannot be reasonably made under any circumstance. “The objection passed that very low bar, which is not saying much.” He wouldn’t say if he personally believed Obama was a citizen. Of course, even if Kansas did kick Obama off the ballot, it probably wouldn’t make much difference electorally; according to FiveThirtyEight‘s current projection, Kansas is 99% likely to go red.
UPDATE: Apparently this measure isn’t going anywhere. Check out this link and a hat tip to E.A. Blair.

Some of these people need their heads examined for competency to hold any kind of public office. Perhaps we should consider giving Kansas a “time out” of the U.S. until its so called leaders grow up.
Breaking news: Kansas Birther Ballot Initiative Nixed.
“On Friday, a Kansas man withdrew a petition asking that President Obama be removed from the state’s election ballot for not meeting presidential citizenship requirements. The man, Joe Montgomery, cited public backlash as his reason for backing down, although the Kansas Secretary of State had been willing to review the petition.”
Thanks for the update E.A. I’ll add it to the article.
