The Kansas GOP today posted their August 8 retracted statement on their official blog. The statement appears to read word for word from the original statement emailed to party supporters. The post includes only the statement signed by Chairman Kobach and has no explanation for why it was accidentally sent by email last week.
Most notably, the new post does not include signatures from other party officials that were included in the original email accidentally sent by the party. There is no explanation as to why.
Why is the party dragging this issue out? Why has it taken two weeks to respond to the attacks of KTRM? Why weren’t other party officials included in the blog post?
The original statement was sent by email, but so far a second email doesn’t seem to have been sent. Is the party waiting for party leaders to sign on before releasing the same statement by email? Were party officials included by mistake in the first email? Is that why we’ve heard nothing since then from either the party of any of the officers listed on the original email?
No word yet, but at the very least, it appears the party is moving in the right direction. Slowly, but in the right direction.

I too, wondered why the official Republican Party of Kansas took so long in responding to the, what I call, chicanery of the KTRM? Are they afraid? Is so afraid of what? Lies need to be challenged quickly. I believe if they responded immediately, it might have changed the outcome of the election. If not, at least the truth would be out there.
I am a registered Republican, but I am presently disappointed with the party both statewide and nationally. The party needs to return to its base.
