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

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.
