Read some of the comments of people who have read her articles about this. Those who raise the usual objections that have been raised since this red tilt has become commonplace are all the same. The most popular is the "Reluctant Republican Responder" thesis; that is, that Republicans are more reluctant to disclose their vote that Dems. Ask yourself if this makes any sense. Why would this be true? Give a good reason before you bring up this idea. Usually, it's those in a hurry who need to get back to work who refuse to respond and my feeling is that this group is probably composed of more Dems than Repubs.

Beth Clarkson has been crusading for a long time now to get fair and VERIFIED elections in KS. But this is not a problem just in KS; it's a problem all over the country and it has been going on since at least 2002. One of the best overall sources of information about what is going on is Jon Simon's book CODE RED. He continues to analyze the results of elections all over the country and by his estimate, Kansas has about a 7 pt red tilt, one of the largest in the country.
