With election day less than a day away, both major parties say the race for Kansas Governor is a toss-up. The Associated Press reports that abortion politics, lingering ill will toward former Republican Governor Sam Brownback, and an Independent Conservative candidate is making this a tighter-than-expected race.
A recent poll conducted by Emerson College Polling and The Hill, shows Governor Laura Kelly and Republican challenger Derek Schmidt at 46 and 43 percent, which is within the margin of error. Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab announced Friday he expects voter turnout of about 53% of Kansas voters. That compares with over 56% in 2018, the last midterm election. Another race tightly contested is the Kansas Attorney General’s race, between Republican Kris Kobach and Democrat Chris Mann. That races is also within 3 percentage points.
Voter turnout is crucial for all those on the ballot. The polls will be open from 7am to 7 pm tomorrow. Let your voice be heard….vote!
