She also said Kobach had assured her in telephone hearings that he had instructed his office to order county election officials to mail the postcards to all voters covered by her order. He said he had told the state's director of elections, Brian Caskey, to ensure that county election officials followed the judge's instructions. He said he had verbally discussed the postcards with county officials several times but had not sent written instructions that the postcards should be sent. The secretary of state's office has no authority to order county officials to follow directions from his office, Kobach told the judge. Rather than correcting information in the online election manual, Kobach removed it from the secretary of state's website.
