The Kansas City Star reported yesterday that early voting compared with the 2018 mid term primary was up by 256%. Most observers believe that can be traced to the Abortion issue regarding the Kansas Constitution.
I didn’t notice any increased turnout this morining when I voted, but certainly both sides of the abortion issue were active on TV/Cable/Streaming media. I have a hunch that the real conservatives will advance their position today, but I don’t have any data to support my belief. The left, as usual, are relying on lies, distortions, and complete nonsense to scare the voters to support their positions.
Don’t fall for the nonsense that Kansas is solid Red. It’s not. Many, many Republicans are descendants of the Free Staters immigrants from Massachusettes, Connecticut, etc. In other words Liberals. Those people call themselves Republicans, but they reliably vote for the Democrats and their agendas. Add in the new magic of midnight drop boxes in certain locations and the outcome is uncertain.
“Don’t fall for the nonsense that Kansas is solid Red. It’s not.”
Amen.
But because even people running for office in Kansas (and similarly Republican-heavy places like Idaho, the Dakotas, Nebraska, etc.) believe that you have to be a member of the GOP in order to get elected, an inordinate number of Democrat politicians call themselves “Republicans”.
They are the *literal* RINOs — Republicans in name only, who still manage to fool enough voters to get themselves into office, and they are a serious plague in these allegedly solid-”red” states.
Being anti-slavery sounds like a conservative value to me. Either way I expect that the descendants of the free staters coming from MA,CT, etc are a small number of the current residents.
