Primary elections in Kansas and Missouri are one week from today. On the Kansas side, a lot of the action will wait until November but one primary race in particular has gained a lot of attention, more than you might expect. Incumbent Kris Kobach is well known for his work on election and immigration laws. His opponent, Scott Morgan, says that's a big part of the problem.

On this edition of Up to Date, guest host Brian Ellison talks with the two Republican candidates about election law, work outside of the Secretary's official role, and more.
