The Kansas Secretary of State website has no precincts reporting yet.

[RAT Patrol]

Nothing yet.

[Bahbah]

I had Hillary on the brain with the Witch thing. My apologies.

[RAT Patrol]

LOL, well, under the circumstances, I can understand.

[FreedomFarmer]

Hi, Troutie!

Thanks for the ping. I thought about you yesterday as I made reservations to go beat up on the winter rainbows at Bennett Springs.
Headed out the door for our Rep's hoot'n'nanny in about an hour. I'll let you know how the new 62nd turns out.

[RAT Patrol]

Talent 50; Carnahan 49; but under 1% reporting.

[axel f]

Bad news.
WIBW is reporting Sebelius and Biggs have big leads right now. I don't know how much has been reported yet.

[RAT Patrol]

The latest poll I saw had Taff up 2%, which was within the margin of error.

[RAT Patrol]

Taff 52; Moore 46

That is bad news about Sebelius and Biggs, but it might just be a liberal district reporting.

[CodeWeasel]

click on your name, then click on the Kansas flag, then click on "see my locale." That will get you to the Kansas page

Oh. How cool!

Thanks to everyone for helping out the new guy. I learn something new every day around here . . .

[RAT Patrol]

Well, I saw Sebelius 62; Shallenburger 36; but then I heard them say another tally had Shallenburger ahead.

[axel f]

Yeah, it was 1600-something for Sebelius to 916 to Shallenburger. There was about a 500 vote difference between the AG candidates too.

[axel f]

I'm praying it's the latter. Hey, Bush beat McBride!!!

[RAT Patrol]

Surbaugh leads OHara with 2% reporting.

[CodeWeasel]

CRUD!

I had already resigned myself to a Sebelius win, but I felt confident about Kline.

[KS Flyover]

Governor / Lt. Governor
Precincts Reporting: 0006 of 3369

CANDIDATE	VOTES	PERCENTAGE
D-Kathleen Sebelius	28363	045 %
L-Dennis Hawver	2982	005 %
F-Ted Pettibone	260	000 %
R-Tim Shallenburger	31119	050 %

[RAT Patrol]

Now it's Shallenburger 50; Sebelius 45
Kline 55; Biggs 45; but still less than 1% reporting.

[axel f]

Not so fast.
Now both Shallenburger and Kline are winning! Wow, Jenkins is really ahead.

[TroutStalker]

It's way too early for a trend to be emerging. Wait until at least a third of the precincts are reporting to look for a trend.
