Editor's note: NCR readers interested in immigration reform and voting rights will no doubt find this article about the race for the secretary of state in Kansas well worth the read. The incumbent secretary of state, Republican Kris Kobach, faces stiff competition from Democrat challenger Jean Schodorf, in part because Kobach has made a national name for himself as a consultant to state legislatures thathave tightened anti-immigration laws, like Alabama and Arizona, and multiple other states that have recently enacted legislation that demands proof of citizenship before a person can vote. NCR brings this story to you with the cooperation of NPR affiliate KCUR in Kansas City, Mo.
Americans saw how important a state elections officer can be in 2000, when Florida Secretary of State Kathryn Harris certified the presidential election for George Bush.
Recently, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach intervened in a contentious race that could alter the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
Kobach is known nationwide as a conservative Republican in a deeply red state. But this year, he is struggling to win re-election.
To see him meeting with half a dozen supporters in a bar just off Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, you might not think Kris Kobach had come all that far from his childhood in Topeka, where his dad owned a Buick dealership.

But this smiling, enthusiastic guy holds degrees from Harvard, Oxford and Yale, and he's a stalwart of the anti-immigration movement nationwide.
"I have been involved in restoring the rule of law in immigration," Kobach said. "That means trying to stop the lawlessness in the Obama administration, and that also means defending states like Arizona."
Arizona enacted the strictest immigration law in the country four years ago. It compelled police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they thought may be in the country illegally. Kobach not only wrote the statue, he defended it before the U.S. Supreme Court.
