I thought that we might make this but I never expected to see numbers like this. It is early but that is a big difference even this early. Holding my breath.

County that has reported results. So the 70% will come down.

Mike Parsons has control of my ovaries, my daughter’s ovaries, and my three granddaughter’s ovaries.

You live in the next state over from red state hell. Howdy, neighbor!

KC, Wichita, Lawrence. Maybe Manhattan and Topeka.

The rest of the state is brainwashed and "yes" will be ahead there.

a strong showing there is enough. Kornacki was saying the no needs to be at least +10 there in order to contain the yes from rural areas.

Women in rural Kansas would want to give birth to their Republican hellspawn.

I hunted for weeks for a sign to put in my yard. I gave up trying to find an office. I figured I'd have to travel to KC or Topeka to get one. I was in no shape to drive that far. There could be a lot of people like me.

I'd like to blame Democrats for not having offices in every small town surrounding the larger cities, but after seeing the number of those democratic offices attacked in the larger cities, I'm hip to the fact they may not want to spend the money or take the chances at putting them in the smaller, more rural towns.

Still... take that for what it's worth when it comes to signage in the front yards. Republican offices are everywhere, even here. They're a dime a dozen even in this small town. And so are the YES signs. Still, we persevere.

In my state, a supermajority of 60% is needed but for Kansas, I couldn't find the answer to that anywhere... and I've been searching.
