Reply to comment by PPQue6 in Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly wins re-election, defeating GOP challenger Derek Schmidt, NBC News projects by Hrekires

Yeah but we still have to do with Kris Kobach so it’s not all exciting.

The people who voted for Kelly but then didn't vote against or voted for Kobach are baffling to me

I’m a bit more baffled by the fact that Kansas said no to an abortion ban by such a large margin and still chose one of the most anti-abortion candidates in the country. It feels like having an (R) next to your name is a cheat code to say whatever you want with no repercussions.

A straight yes or no vote on a single issue is less prone to party loyalty. I'm ready to bet a lot of people who voted no on the ban then elected Kobach are from families that have voted red for generations and they've never met a liberal in their lives.

Wait tell you see LaTurner in action, dude is a massive conservative Catholic. He's got his friends posting stuff all over about anti abortion, pro life, impossible to be a Catholic and vote dem. He is a huge violation of church and state separation and I'm fucking humiliated that he got voted in by my district.
