It's because the Kansas Supreme court appointment process gives the power of nomination to lawyers who are elected in regions. They present a shortlist to the governor to choose and KS is still electing democrat governors although that seems like it is going to fade. It has meant that supreme court justices confirmed by either side are a bit less partisan.

As a Kansan voter, it was super easy for me to register. Every time I pay for my tags, taxes, renew my license, I'm repeatedly asked if I need to update my address or register to vote. Hell even when I fell on hard times and needed food assistance I was asked to register to vote. Even in high school civics class, those who were 18 were heavily encouraged to register to vote. I've never understood people who just... didn't and don't. You have to ACTIVELY say no to register to vote to function as an adult in this state.

Thanks Marc and Paige. Amidst the many who do a great job putting out information on the political goings-on, you are one of the few who, additionally, back up their commentary with background action. It shows how the "little things" being worked on BEFORE an election sometimes are far more important that the big things like the results AFTER an actual election. Much respect!

The elimination of the electoral college is the only way the will of the people can prevail. Both parties are concerned with themselves, their power, and their never ending funding, not the will of the voters. This government is neither for the people or by the people.

It won't do a whole lot. Changing the electoral system of congress to multi member districts with ranked choice voting would give voters more power and more accurate representation. That weakens the power of the parties and might help break apart the 2 party system. There'd be more competition and lawmakers would need to be more co-operative as they will need voters 2nd and 3rd preferences to get over the finishing line.

I understand having signatures on the ballot and when you register. Let's take the mail in ballots for example they are printed every year and near is a year that is printed on it like 2024 and I would imagine for security they have a watermark or something in that paper to identify it as a true ballot . So it would be protected as a cast ballot because of that state's printing. And the different names that are on the ballot for that year is also proof of that electional ballot. That's the most obvious and true valid you can see and read .

A unified and single federal voting rights bill is needed also the next time democrats control the House and senate gerrymandering should be outlawed with a supermajority needed to overturn that ban.

I think in the progressive era, KS amended their system of judicial appointments. Districts elect lawyers to a committee who then present the governor with a shortlist of judges from which to choose to confirm one. This is different from the typical system where the governor appoints and the state senate confirms. KS has elected democrats for governor more although this is fading. GOP in the state already scrapped the system for courts below the state supreme court and the difference is stark. Lower court judges act more partisan like other states. The state supreme court is more moderate and there is more crossing over partisan lines for rulings. The downside is that tort reform often runs into headwinds with the court due to the influence of lawyers. This system will eventually be overturned as GOP keep trying. Every cycle the more moderate GOP lawmakers keep retiring or getting whittled down.

Sandra: [From Wikipedia] "Poll taxes were used in the United States until they were outlawed following the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Poll taxes (taxes of a fixed amount on every liable individual, regardless of their income) had also been a major source of government funding among the colonies and states which went on to form the United States. Poll taxes became a tool of disenfranchisement in the South during Jim Crow, following the end of Reconstruction. This form of disenfranchisement was common until the Voting Rights Act, which is considered one of the most monumental pieces of civil rights legislation ever passed. The Voting Rights Act followed the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibited both Congress and the states from implementing poll taxes, but only for federal elections." In essence, during Jim Crow, poll taxes were used to keep the poor, slaves (or ex-slaves), etc. from voting. So, if you didn't have the money to vote, you couldn't vote. Downright neighborly, eh?

If the law is on the books, it's still enforceable. There is no such thing as a "permanent ban" on enforcing laws, and anyone LIKE YOU, FOR EXAMPLE, who has followed the history of abortion legislation would know this. Thumbs down for deliberately misleading your listeners.
