Wichita, Kansas — “It will never happen. There’s no way they will do that. I mean, come on. I suppose that would get Kansas a lot of attention, but…”
That’s the response of Tom Sawyer, a long-time Kansas Democrat lawmaker.
Sawyer responded to the possibility President Barack Obama could be left off the ballot in Kansas for the November election.
On Thursday the Kansas State Objections Board heard arguments to kick President Obama off the ballot. The State Objections Board does have the power to drop President Obama from the ballot in Kansas.
“I just talked to the State Objections Board myself today,” explains Sawyer. “It was over the issue of me living in the district where I’m running for office… that is exactly what the State Objections Board is for. Not for kicking off the ballot the sitting President of the United States.”
Sawyer was challenged by a political opponent on his residency in his district. Sawyer won, and will stay on the ballot. But will the President of the United States stay on the ballot?
“Well, they certainly had the power today to make that decision,” said Sawyer.
The State of Kansas objections board did not take action. Instead, the board members said they will wait for more information from the states of Hawaii and Arizona on the President and the birth status of both his mother and father.
That State Objections Board is made up of three of the top guns in Kansas politics. Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lieutenant Governor Jeff Colyer. All three are Republican.
“Make no mistake, Kansas is a largely Republican state,” says Wichita State University Poly-Sci professor Jeff Jarman. “The Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, will get the electoral votes from Kansas. But there is still a very active Democratic base in the state.”
Jarman says he wonders what the motivation would be for the State Objections Board to even consider the issue.
“First of all, they kicked out another case just like this back in April,” says Jarman. “The board said no. Also, the United States Supreme Court has refused to wade into these waters. So this would be a highly unusual move if a major party candidate were not allowed on the ballot in November. It’s just not happened before.”
The State Objections Board in Kansas says it will make a decision on Monday.
