Kansas (R) Primary called at 8.34% in, Moran wins.
This surprises me exactly zero percent. Moran is extremely popular locally, so there was really no chance he was going to lose this.
I'm calling it, we lose this one. Current split 64/36.
If it means anything to you, looking at the map of the counties that have reported so far its all of the big cities (Wichita, Lawrence, Manhattan, Kansas City+suburbs). But if it does fail, I am honestly not going to be surprised. The amendment was written in such a way that even a lot of more conservative people like my family voted No for the simple reason that it is far too open ended. It gives the state the power to change the law at will, and it doesnt really include any limiting language. So if somehow the Dems got a majority in the state (extremely unlikely IMO, but still), they could change the law to be more like California.
We lost, unfortunately. They're drinking the "tears of the patriarchy". I'm a little bit worried that this might mean the midterms aren't as sure of a thing for us as we thought.
Like I said, I am not. And I don’t think it corresponds to any sort of midterm odds. The MAGA types did very well locally, and if you look at the data the Republican primary had significantly more momentum than the Dem primary.
It failed entirely due to the fact that a lot of people like me and my family thought the amendment was vague and too open to abuse. Plus the fact that the average local opinion is that a total ban is undesirable, and the current laws were fine.
No leads with ~24% in. Not looking good. I'm calling it, we lose this one. Current split 64/36.
I found the perfect mug to drink out of while you watch.

It still shocks me to see it called that early.

It was a single issue. Nothing more.
