Topeka, KS 66612

Secretary KObach: .

l, Davis Hammet, object to the 2018 certificate of nomination of Kris Kobach as the Republican
nominee for Governor pursuant K.S.A. 25-308. I object pursuant Kansas law, 25-1436(c) ?legal
votes were rejected" and 25?1436(d) occurred in computing the results of the election"
during the 2018 Kansas primary election. Speci?cally, advance mail ballots were illegally and
unconstitutionaliy rejected, and unaffiliated voters? ballots were illegally rejected.

First, advance mail ballots were rejected based on signature veri?cation in violation of K.S.A.
25-1124(a) ?The voter shall complete the form on the ballot envelope and shall sign the same.?
KSA 25-1124(a) does not require verification as other statutes do such as K.S.A. 
?county election of?cial veri?es that the signature of the person matches that on 

Second, Kansans who hadtheir advance maii ballots challenged and rejected were classified as
provisional, but the voters were never informed how to verify if their ballots were counted. This
denied voters of the information they needed to object to their ballots being rejected and it__ 
violates Kansas law pursuant 25?409(b) ?provide written information stating how the voter may
ascertain whether the voter's provisional ballot was counted.?

Third, Kansans who had their advance mail ballots challenged and rejected based on signature
matching were not contacted and given the opportunity to prove it was in fact their signature.
The process of rejecting these ballots violates the due process clause of the 14th amendment of
the US. Constitution.

Fourth, unaf?liated voters? ballots were rejected when they clearly showed intent by casting a
partisan baiiot. The rejection of these ballots violates Kansas law pursuant ?No
ballot, or any portion thereof, shall be invalidated by any technical error unless it is impossible to
determine the voter's intention.?

Fifth, unaffiliated voters who showed clear intent to vote in a partisan election had their ballots
rejected by poll workers, election officials, or other of?cers by the means of error, misinformation
o_r subjective judgment. The rejection of these ballots violates Kansas iaw pursuant 25-702(b)
?in all elections for the choice of the real will of the people may not be defeated by
any technical irregularity of any of?cer.?

Numerous state statute violations, inconsistent application of the law, and unconstitutional 
treatment of rejected ballots resulted in a number of ballots not being counted that is
signi?cantly higher than Mr. Kobach?s 0.1% margin of victory.

I request that the State of Kansas unseal and count all the ballots it illegally rejected based on
signature and party af?liation so that, according to ?the real wilt of the people may not
be defeated."
