Republican Ron Estes wins in 4th District congressional race
BY DION LEFLER, BRYAN LOWRY, DANIEL SALAZAR AND JONATHAN SHORMAN
McClatchy News
Update 9:43 p.m.: The Associated Press says Republican Ron Estes has won the special House election to replace Mike Pompeo. He has 52 percent of the vote to Democrat James Thompsons 47 percent with 519 of 620 precincts counted.
Update: 9:35 p.m.: Sedgwick County election officials had counted about half the countys votes by 9:30 as some problems cropped up with the countys new voting machines.
Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman said she kind of expected that counting would be somewhat slower as workers adapt to the new technology, which uses a touch-screen machine to produce a ballot card that is then fed into a separate counting machine.

(10,434 posts)1. "problems cropped up"
Yeah, right.
Those voting machines are rigged. I don't believe this election, and I'll never EVER believe that Brownhole's re-election was won fairly.

(4 posts)3. Agreed.
Kansas elections compare with Iran's for the corruption in the tabulating process.

(762 posts)2. Especially with Kobach as Secretary of State
He resisted any kind of review of election results when a Wichita State statistician, Beth Anderson, found anomalies.
His Crosscheck system is used to kick people off the voter roll.
