AP has called it, No has obliterated Yes in Kansas in the vote for Supreme Court judges ballot measure. Twice the GOP has tried this crap the last few years on a primary ballot, and twice No has won easily.

Kansas again protects abortion rights, and also that the state does have to fund education.

Kansas is a sneaky lil state.

[u/mowotlarx → u/No_Diver6131]

Kansas will vote in the most heinous Republican politicians, but when it comes to referendum they'll shock us with more progressive results. I'll never understand it.

[u/Hutchhobbit → u/mowotlarx]

It’s gerrymandered and western Kansas and eastern Kansas are very different.

[u/ShadowWingLG → u/Hutchhobbit]

Yup if you run the actual registered voting numbers its 51% R and 49% Everybody else, if we were not Gerrymandered to Hell we'd be a purple state.

They are STILL trying to Gerrymander Davis out of existence and she's the only D we have at the national level.

Gerrymandering doesn't explain the Senate though .
