Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s office says that on the day last January it took over from outgoing secretary Kris Kobach, it found an unsecured gun in a filing cabinet.
The discovery was mentioned in a timeline Schwab aides produced as part of an investigation into 1,000 rounds of ammunition that went missing after they were purchased during Kobach’s tenure.
The timeline, obtained through a publicrecords request, provides new details about how the secretary of state’s office armed itself after Kobach gained the power to prosecute voter fraud in 2015.
