Kobach's lead in Kansas race falls to 91 votes
AP ^ | 8/9/18 | Anon

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's lead over Gov. Jeff Colyer in the Republican primary has shrunk to only 91 votes after election officials discovered a mistake in the listing for one county's results in the state's tally of votes.

The lead is minuscule when compared with the 311,000 votes cast.

The final, unofficial results posted on the secretary of state's website show Kobach winning Thomas County in northwest Kansas, with 466 votes to Colyer's 422. But the tally posted by the Thomas County clerk's office shows Colyer with 522 votes, or 100 votes more for him, a number the clerk confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday.

Unionized Democrats control about 70% of the county clerk offices in this country.

Laugh all you want, when you sober up, re-read the thread.

Yes, this election for one. Colyer is a Republican. This is a Primary Election, and Kansas primaries are closed, only Republicans may vote.

I guess that Landslide Lyndon is going to lose his title, it will now be Landslide Kris from now on.

Haven't had a drop - yet. I re-read the story. And your post still makes no sense.

I have worked as a Warden in two elections for a precinct in Maine. We count the ballots before the polls open.
After the polls close we count the ballots left over plus
the ballots that have been marked and read by the machine.

This may sound usual but the two totals equal.

At the time the polls close we can account for all the ballots.

It is pretty simple to implement. We have one person from each party (R and D) sign off on everything.

Do you actually doubt that Dems control the majority of county clerk offices?

Perhaps you just don’t get out enough.
