Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab won renomination in the state’s Republican primary Tuesday after he ran a campaign defending the integrity of the state’s elections challenged by his rival.
Former President Donald Trump and his allies have sought to elevate down-ballot candidates who embraced his baseless claims of systemic election fraud in 2020, especially for posts that oversee state elections, including secretaries of state, who are the top election officials.
Mike Brown, a former member of the Johnson County Commission, announced a challenge to Schwab and embraced Trump’s claims. Brown is a critic of the way elections are conducted in Kansas, although there is no evidence of systemic fraud in the state. Brown was backed by former Department of Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli, a Trump ally who is now the chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative.
Schwab sought a second term defending his record and Kansas elections, arguing they were safe and fair and the processes of mail voting and ballot drop boxes were secure. He is expected to lead the National Association of Secretaries of State and had the backing of both former Gov. Sam Brownback and former Sen. Pat Roberts.Trump has sought to elevate his allies who worked toward or embraced his unfounded 2020 election claims to posts as their states’ top elections officials.
