When the KS leg passed this amendment, they said the next section of Article 15 should be 26, but Article 15 only had 13 sections, it was the following one that had 25. It passed the popular vote, and the SOS version of the constitution now lists it as section 14.

For some reason the SOS report from 1864 doesn't have statewide results for the constitutional amendment guaranteeing soldiers the right to vote, but every county return I can find was dictator-sham-election in favor of it.

Bourbon County, KS voted last year to expand their commission from 3 to 5 seats, and they're doing special elections for D4 and D5 this year. Always seems weird when states allow for half the reps to serve under the old map and half under the new with redistricting.

“I know you’re wondering, are the Doughboys part of this Boysiverse? Yes and no. Although Wiger did write for CBB, Scott Aukerman’s show, and he got his start on Mr. Show. Now, guess who co-created the Birthday Boys TV show!”

Last October, Kansas ticked over 2 million registered voters for the first time in state history. Last month, we did it again!
(List cleaning in the spring brought us below 2 million, but we're now back above 2 million!)

Bill Nye was a professor-at-large for a semester at my university while I was an undergrad, and he sat in on one of my improv team’s practices. He monologued for like 10 minutes straight about how great Steve Martin is, the guy just loves him.
