Glad Kobach won..

[TheSocialDem]

This should put his crosscheck BS even more under a national magnifying glass and give us a better shot at getting a Democrat in as governor in Kansas.

I could be wrong here though. Any thoughts?

1. It's good unless he wins the general

That's obvious I know but we don't need any more amoral, cheating POS in office than we got now. Don't know about his primary opponent but he couldn't be worse than Kobach.

2. Yep.

[jcgoldie]

3. I agree but

I been a little gunshy about rooting for the completely ridiculous unelectable candidate on the GOP side since Trump got elected.

[FSogol]

5. Yeah gotta agree. n/t

[Matthew28]

4. Watch

Kansas elect him.

I wouldn't expect the deplorables that make up the majority of this state to vote any other way. The guy could be caught talking with trump about bringing back slavery and nothing would change this reality.

8. I know several in Johnson County,

The biggest county, voted for Colyer and said they refuse to vote for Kobach. Most are afraid of his plans to basically privatize public schools and cut funding to almost nothing.

12. Hi, how are Kansas primaries run?

In Florida, unaffiliated voters can't participate in primaries. Do Kansas allow unaffiliated voters to vote in primaries? Also, what is the ration of Dems to repughs, to indies in Kansas?

14. I'm not sure.

I'm an hour over the border in Missouri but I don't think they allow crossover primary voting between parties. I believe you have to declare a party in advance.

Missouri you declare a party at the polls. You don't have to say out loud-just point to the logo/mascot picture at sign in.

17. I looked up registration.

The latest numbers were 2017.

Dems. 95,788
Repugs. 186,376
Indies. 140,376

Indies outnumbered Dems in every county but two or three.

So, what happens in November depends upon what Indies did in the primary. An indie can declare at the polls, but if they choose republican, they have to join the Republican Party. If a lot of Colyer's vote was anti Kobach indies that declared to defeat him, the November race could be real close.

6. It's Kansas. I'll be surprised if he DOESN'T win the general.

I get the Democratic excitement because he's a more "beatable" candidate, but it's Kansas, so the Republican who came out of the primary starts off with a huge advantage.

7. kansas dems move to missouri and vote there. would make MO blue. nt

[xmas74]

10. We will take them.

Move to my county and I will have them to all the meetings, booths ,soup festivals and potlucks.

9. not if he wins

[MoonRiver]

11. I think Kobach has rigged our voting machines.

He may not win, but he will "win."

[uponit7771]

13. +1

[xmas74]

15. I think everyone thinks it too.

Did they call for a recount yet? 41 news said the deadline is Friday.

[MoonRiver]

16. Won't happen.

Maybe when Kobach "wins" in November his Dem opponent will. Hope springs eternal in stupid land.
