The Republican attorney general of Kansas sued Friday to force the state to be among a few that prohibit transgender people from changing their sex on their driver’s licenses and to repudiate the Democratic governor, who continues to allow such changes despite a new anti-trans law.
Attorney General Kris Kobach filed his lawsuit in state court, seeking an order to stop Gov. Laura Kelly, and agencies under her control, from letting transgender people change their licenses.
Kobach contends a law that took effect Saturday prevents such changes and requires the state to reverse any previous changes in its records. While Kelly isn’t named as a defendant, the lawsuit holds her responsible for the policy on driver’s licenses.

In 2018 Kobach lost his bid for Kansas governor after flaming out as the head of Trump’s so-called “voter fraud” commission.
Kobach’s campaign was funded in part by prominent white supremacists and anti-immigrant hate groups.
Last year he resigned from the board of Steve Bannon’s private border wall scam outfit and unlike others involved, he has somehow evaded prosecution.
That same day he appeared on Bannon’s show to compare Biden to Hitler. Then he complained that Republicans are being “demonized.”
